My grandmother taught me a little trick that completely transformed the way I clean fish: using 9% vinegar!

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Dry the fish : Before you begin, make sure to dry the fish thoroughly. This prevents it from slipping in your hands while you clean it.
  2. Apply vinegar : Put on gloves and pour a little vinegar on your hands. Rub the fish with a light layer of vinegar. No need to use too much, just a little to moisten the surface.
  3. Let it work : Leave it to rest for about 15-20 minutes for the vinegar to take effect.

Vinegar contains acid (CH₃COOH) which works by weakening the bonds between the scales and the fish skin. This makes the scales softer and easier to remove.
