Technique mentioned in chapter 2.pg 24- "If you're bothered by the smell, do frosting"- what does this mean? freeze the fish? an earlier mentioned technique? or is this just a confusing translation of a phrase?
Ah, thank you very much, thought it might have been a technique introduced earlier. To ask a followup question- so this is basically a blanching technique? From the pic in chapter 2 where it happens, it was a bit unclear- like a classic blanch, is boiling water directly poured onto the flesh and then the flesh is ice shocked/cooled in water, or is it poured onto already submerged meat (which seems odd/counterintuitive, but perhaps meant to control the heat so the fish doesn't overcook?), and then further cooled/rinsed?Technique mentioned in chapter 2.
You can pour boiling water directly over the fish, or add the fish to a bowl of boiling water. Once the flesh changes to a white color, immediately remove it and place it in ice water. Once it has cooled, remove any slimy parts, scales etc.Ah, thank you very much, thought it might have been a technique introduced earlier.

You do, sort of, in the more recent games they added the ability to have the chefs turn excess parts like tails into steaks.Now I'm thinking of all the wyverns I've killed in Monster Hunter, don't think I've ever gotten meat from one to eat...
