• Cod liver should be of high quality, the taste of the finished salad depends on it. On a can of liver cans must be marked that the product is natural. The composition of the product with additional ingredients can be only salt, pepper and laurel leaves. Preservation oil is not added, because for the marinade the manufacturer must use its own cod liver oil. When shaking the jar with the product, nothing in it should hang out.
• Eggs, especially if they are not homemade, but bought in a store, it is better not to digest so that they do not turn blue and do not spoil the appearance of the salad. In order to cook hard-boiled chicken eggs, 5-7 minutes after boiling water is enough, quail eggs will be enough for three minutes.
