How to protect yourself from buying Fish infected with worms ? First of all, if possible, to abandon the traditional Far Eastern species: pink salmon, sockeye salmon. Since fish and worms are likely sellers will eviscerate and washed, and then sell portions - as far as possible try to buy whole carcasses.

Rinse fish in cold water from the outside, then cut off his head, eviscerated (and carefully inspect the colon - whether there are worms (can be isolated and worms, and tangles of thin white "threads")). Then, rinse again and drop to 20 - 30 minutes in a cold solution of salt 5 tablespoons of salt in 2 liters of water. Then rinse the fish under running water again.
2. If you want to fry the fish - cut into portions of its thickness is not more than 1, 5 cm, abundantly pour lemon juice, salt, pepper and fry in plenty of hot oil at least 10 minutes on each side. It is important that the temperature inside the piece of fish reached 80 C - just so you can be confident in the safety of the product.
3. If you want to bake whole fish, wrap it in foil and calculate time for baking fish weighing about 800 - 1000 g in foil need to keep it in the oven at about 190 C for at least 35 minutes. Without foil fish can get over-dry!
