Jellied fish is a traditional cold appetizer that can be quickly prepared for the New Year's table without much hassle. Any fish is suitable for aspic, even sturgeon, even carp, it is important to boil it correctly and be sure to remove all bones. Fish broth, no matter how hard you try, will not solidify by itself; edible gelatin will definitely be needed to help this process. Manufacturers of gelatin indicate the required amount on the pack, however, in order to obtain elastic jelly, it is better to double this rate.

Jellied fish cooking method

For aspic, you can use any fish you like. In this recipe, I made tuna aspic. This is not the huge tuna that is sold in Japanese markets, but its humble relative, the mackerel tuna.

The fish is very tasty and practical, no scales, few bones, does not fall apart after cooking.

So, defrost it in the refrigerator (required!), Gut it, cut off the head, fins, tail. Wash thoroughly with cold running water.

Put the tuna in a saucepan and peeled carrots, add all the seasonings - onion head, celery stalk, lavrushka, peppercorns, salt and pour 1.5 liters of cold water.
