Preparing Fish & Seafood
Fish
At the beginning, the question arises: Do I buy the fish frozen, i.e., ready to eat, or do I get fresh fish from my trusted fishmonger, which requires some preparation before actual cooking. It depends on the vendor or your order how ready-to-cook the fish already is.
Scaling / Descaling
Rule of thumb: The larger a fish is, the larger its scales are. Yes, logically. Fish scales are small bony plates and consist of a similar substance to bones. This makes scales generally inedible. Fish with small scales like trout and mackerel do not need to be scaled, and you can – if you like – eat the skin without hesitation after cooking. When these types of fish are fried or grilled, the crispy skin is even a real treat. It's different with larger fish like pike-perch or pike. These fish should be scaled. The alternative is to leave the scales on the fish, as this keeps the skin more stable and prevents the fish from falling apart when frying or grilling. But then please remove the skin before eating.
Our tip: Let the fishmonger do the scaling. Because descaling fish at home is not a pleasant task. Stripping off the small hard scales results in them sticking everywhere afterward - in your sink, on the countertop, and on you. Alternatively, we recommend the outdoor version: Outside in the garden, at least you don't have to scrub the kitchen afterward. The easiest way is with a special fish scaler. We have different models from our top brands in our range. In principle, they all work the same: Hold the fish by the tail fin and – important! - strip the scales from the tail towards the head. Scaling against the growth direction is also the reason why the scales fly around like shimmering confetti. Not quite so with the scalers from the brand triangle tools. These smart tools have an integrated scale catcher at their head end. We don't need to emphasize that this doesn't work 100% effectively, do we?
