Sea bream is a typical Mediterranean fish that has white flesh, which is tender and light. For someone who has never cleaned a fish, the first attempt may seem a little unpleasant, but in the end there is nothing scary. However, to cook a delicious fish dish, you must first clean it, if necessary. Sea bream is one of the most delicious and healthy fish, but how is it cleaned?
Wash the fish. Its fins and scales are not edible, so remove them. The scales are removed by removing them in the opposite direction with a sharp knife. To do this, press the fish down well with one hand and with the other pass the knife over it at an angle - the blade pointing to the head. After scraping the scales off, place the fish on its back and cut the whole stomach. Remove the entrails and wash the fish very well. Be careful with the gallbladder - it should not burst because it is very bitter.
The cleaned fish is ready for frying. Sea bream is a lovely fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways - grilled, baked or fried. Baked sea bream in a sea salt crust is a classic recipe. It goes very well with spices such as rosemary, bay leaf, black pepper, oregano, garlic and lemon.
