Grayfish

Grayfish is one of the most attractive representatives of freshwater reservoirs that can be found in the Russian Federation. Although it does not differ in particularly large size, its unusually attractive color makes grayling fish one of the brightest waterfowl.

A distinctive component of the extraordinary beauty of grayling fish is a large dorsal fin painted with a multi-colored pattern, which is often called a sail. In addition, the whole body of the fish is covered with small scales, which shimmers in the rays of sunlight with all the colors of the rainbow.

Grayling fish are a close relative of the whitefish and salmon family. Accordingly, it can be caught exclusively in the rapidly flowing cold rivers of northeastern and northern Russia, as well as throughout Siberia.

It is noteworthy that it is highly valued only for its attractive appearance, but also for the gastronomic properties of grayling. It is essentially an extraordinarily delicate fish that features a bouncy, white-pink, very palatable meat. In addition, the low calorie content of grayling allows this fish to be used in dietary nutrition.

Meanwhile, grayling fish make an excellent ear, which is excellent in taste and transparency. In addition, grayling is quite often fried or salted. The latter option is especially characteristic of the summer season, when immediately after catch the fish is gutted, poured with salt, and then covered with sedge or nettle for better preservation. For people who are not fond of fishing, frozen or chilled grayling is found on sale, which is often gutted.

Smoked grayling is considered very tasty, which you can not only buy in the store, but also cook yourself. For this, a smoke chamber is used, in the absence of which you can resort to the help of a special smoke liquid - the so-called liquid smoke.

In fishing cooking, there is a considerable list of delicious dishes that are prepared from grayling fish: this fish is not only pickled, salted or fried, but also not quite ordinary dishes are made. For example, a dish called he. In fact, it turns out fine-cut grayling fillet of fish, which is marinated for a short time in vinegar, salt and pepper. He, made from grayling, is a fairly simple but less delicious and appetising fish snack that can bring variety to your menu and help out repeatedly.

In principle, grayling fish can be prepared like any other fish. The only condition of a tasty dish is that the cooking time must be reduced so that the fish does not dry out and become tough. And the property of grayling, which only adds advantages to it, is the complete absence of a specific fish smell - it smells like the aroma of a fresh cucumber.
