Pollock Fish Soup - Tips and Tricks
• A tasty soup made from pollock will only come out on a good broth. If you have time, then you can pre-boil heads with tails, abdomens and various illiquid pieces. Or cook vegetable broth from the roots and spices. Then the broth must be filtered and cooked for the selected recipe.
• Pollock is quite dry and contains a bit of fat. Therefore, adding fat to the soup is welcome. Especially good with this fish is butter. On it you can fry vegetables or just throw a slice into the pan.
• Lemon is an aromatic additive that perfectly matches fish soups. You can add a fragrant lobule to the plate when serving, or squeeze out some juice in a saucepan. But it is not recommended to add slices to the total mass, since the rind will transfer bitter taste to the hot dish.
