Which fish is better for soup?

The most common way to cook fish is to drink soup, but for people who don’t cook often, they don’t know what fish can be used to make soup and what fish is better for making soup.

2. Fish Soup Recipe

Lotus root stewed with black fish

Prepare the fish:

After slaughtering the black fish, wash it, drain it, cut off the tail, and remove the broken part of the fish meat along the spine. There are a few fish bones left near the belly of the fish meat, which should be removed with a knife. The remaining boneless fish meat is cut diagonally along the skin into thin fish fillets. Cut the remaining fish rack into sections and keep them together with the fish head, fish tail and fish skin for later use.

Method: Boil the fish racks that have been processed before in boiling water to remove the blood, then remove and drain. Put the blanched fish rack into a clay pot filled with water, add ginger slices (a little more), lotus root (peeled and cut into dice), and scallion segments. After boiling over high heat, simmer over low heat for 2.5-3 hours, then add appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence.

2. Spring Bamboo Shoots and Black Fish Soup

Method: Clean the black fish, cut into sections and set aside. Peel the spring bamboo shoots, clean them and cut into pieces and set aside. Soak the red dates in clean water for 1 hour in advance and rub the bottom of the pot evenly with ginger slices (to prevent the skin from breaking when frying the fish). After the oil in the pan is hot, add the black fish slices and fry until both sides are golden brown. Then pour in appropriate amount of boiling water, add ginger slices, red dates, longan, and spring bamboo shoots (to remove the fishy smell, you can add more ginger slices or a small amount of rice wine). Pour all the ingredients and soup into the soup pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 1 hour. PS: Add salt to taste before drinking. After the fish soup is cooked, the soup is very delicious but the meat has no taste, so I think it is more appropriate to choose smaller fish to make soup.

Papaya and loach soup

Ingredients: 1 papaya, 2 bull loaches (about 600 grams), 4 slices of ginger, 5 grams of almonds, 8 candied dates, a little lard and salt.

Features: This soup is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, protein and minerals, and has the effects of nourishing the body and promoting lactation. "Papaya and loach soup" is a traditional Chinese folk recipe for promoting lactation. It is an effective lactation agent that is specifically used to treat symptoms such as lack of milk in women after childbirth.

Method: Scrape the papaya skin, remove the core, wash with clean water, and cut into thick pieces. Remove the scales and gills of the bull loach, remove the internal organs, and rinse it with clean water; wash the almonds and candied dates separately with clean water. Put the pot on the fire, add lard, heat it up, put in the bull loach and fry until fragrant, then serve. Put the papaya into the pot, cook for half an hour, add a little salt to season, and you can eat it.

Carp Essence Soup

Ingredients: 1 carp, 80 grams of old ginger, 1 tablespoon of wolfberry. 2 tablespoons rice wine, 1 teaspoon salt.

Preparation method: Remove the gills and belly of the carp, but not the scales, and wash it. You can also buy pre-cooked carp to save trouble. Peel the ginger, wash and slice it. Heat the pan and add oil, put in the carp and fry both sides slightly, then add 600 ml of water, rice wine, salt, wolfberry and ginger slices, cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour.

After reading the above, fish lovers should also understand which fish is best for making soup. In addition, it also mentions recipes for various fish soups, such as lotus root and black fish soup, spring bamboo shoots and black fish soup, papaya and loach soup, carp soup, etc. Although the steps of these fish soups are somewhat complicated, I believe that for fish lovers, everything is nothing.
