Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook fish soup from a catfish head at home? Prepare all the necessary products. It is best to take fish chilled; frozen products contain much less nutrients. If you have frozen fish, then you will learn all the details of defrosting by reading the article at the end of the recipe. In addition to the head, you can take other parts of the fish; the tail and fins are perfect.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut off the head of the fish. Be sure to remove the gills: if this is not done, the broth will turn out bitter. Then rinse the fish head and other parts if you are using them well.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the fish in a saucepan, cover with filtered water and bring to a boil over low heat. I recommend using filtered water rather than tap water, as it can give the broth an unpleasant aftertaste. Read how to choose a pan in a separate article at the end of the recipe.
