We were out fishing today. When we were done, we stopped a visited with another fisherman who had caught some big ones. He gave me some interesting advice. He was bragging about how his fish are the best tasting around. People always ask him how he gets that fishy wang out they are so good. He says he won't tell, but would tell me as we didn't know each other. ;D Says his dad's grandma passed it down, so it is an old trick. He said that after the fish are cleaned and ready to freeze or cook: Put about a teaspoon of cider vinegar in water. Let the fish soak in it ten to fifteen minutes. Said the fish will start turning whiter. (said that is because the vinegar is starting to cook them) After that point, freeze them or cook them and they will taste great. I am gonna have to try this. I cannot stand that fishy wang. Usually I soak them in buttermilk, and that helps some. But this method sound interesting

I will have to try that, too. Sounds interesting. I have always used the buttermilk with a little salt tossed in. I have also heard that you can soak them in beer.
I haven't tried soaking them in beer, but I have cooked them with it. You take equal parts (measure for measure) of COMPLETE pancake mix and beer. (Ex... 1 cup of each) and whisk together thoroughly. Make sure to use a bowl with LOTS of space above the batter. Cover lightly and let set several hours to all day (at room temp) until it is good and bubbly. Then dip fish in it and deep fry. It is sooooo good and it, too, removes some of that strong 'fishy' taste.

We soak our deer in white vinegar to take some of the wild taste out of the meat. If fact we soak all our wild meat in vinegar for a length of time some longer than others.  That's what your friend, dad's, grandma done to the fish took some of the wild taste out. Deer and other wild meat turns white colored, because it's pull extra blood from the meat. It's a pale white not whitey white.  |

Why do you not like the gamey taste? A little is okay, but not a lot of the wild game taste. I'm from Northern Arkansas, where my Dad raised our meat. He hunted some too. But the game taste is something I wasn't raised on. A little bit of it will do me. My bunch could/would eat deer meat 3 meals a day 7 days a week if I would cooked it for them. |
