Prepare the carp
After buying the carp, use salt to rub all over the fish’s body. Then, use a knife to cut off the tail, fins, and entrails of the fish and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes to completely clean off the slime. Finally, rinse it several times with clean water and let it drain.
Ways to eliminate the fishy smell of carp
Method 1: Soak the fish for about 5 minutes in a mixture of water and vinegar, or water and alcohol, then rinse it thoroughly with water.
Method 2: After cleaning, soak the fish in rice water for 10 – 15 minutes and then rinse it with clean water.
Method 3: Crush and slice ginger, then soak it in water with the fish for about 5 minutes before rinsing it several times with water. This is also an effective method to eliminate the fishy smell of the fish.
