See all videosHow to Choose and Handle Fresh Fish (6:36)
Fish is great for your health, but most of us don't know how to choose a fresh one. Chef Meg shows us how, and she teaches us how to break down a fish and make fish stock.
We don't have fish shaped like that one in northern Minnesota! It is a little difficult to understand a flat shaped fish instead of a "regular" one.

I remember my Mom doing this with fish growing up...mostly with the fresh fish my Dad had just caught in nearby Lakes. But I think I will leave this for the butcher. I just do not think I could separate the meat so easily from the bone and skin.

Holy Moly, that was quite unpleasant. But you made it look do-able. I will probably try to see the video several more times before tackling it myself. Thank you cheff Meg--as always your videos are fantastic!

It looked pretty easy but, I don't think I'm quite ready to tackle it just yet. The mouthwash tip to get rid of fishy fingers is a nice tip to try with some other food prep.
