SSPDaily has prepared a selection of life hacks for defrosting fish that are practical and effective. These methods will help you save time and enjoy delicious dishes without any hassle.
Salt water
Fill a large bowl with cold salt water, using about half a cup of salt for every four cups of water. Put the fish in a resealable plastic bag and submerge it in the bowl for about 30 minutes. This method not only defrosts the fish faster, but also adds extra flavor.
Cold water
Put the fish in a resealable plastic bag to prevent water from seeping in. Then fill a large bowl with cold water and submerge the resealable bag in it. Remember to change the water every 30 minutes to maintain a constant temperature. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should defrost in about 1-3 hours.
Microwave
Simply place the fish on a microwave-safe dish and use the defrost function on low power.It is important to set the power level low so that the fish does not cook.
Start by defrosting for 1 minute, then check and turn the fish over. Repeat this process at short intervals until the fish is completely defrosted.
