Steam Away The Fish Skin
Peeling off fish skin is most people’s least favorite portion of cooking prep. All too often it’s quite attached to the fish meat underneath, making it not only a pained effort to pull off, but also causes it to tear leaving bits behind.
Instead of yanking on the skin, place the fish on a flat surface of something you do not care about soaking, boil some water, and pour the scorching liquid over the skin.
You will note the fish and the skin will tighten in shape. Once you are done, give it a moment to cool, and easily peel the fish skin off with a simple, steady, and gentle pull in one direction.
