  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

Black grenadier meat is practically a reference protein! It is perfectly absorbed by the body. Moreover, this deep-sea fish does not contain harmful impurities or parasites, and therefore does not require harsh temperature treatment. You can even eat it raw, but it will be even better to use it to cook stew with vegetables according to the proven recipe of Vladivostok chef Vyacheslav Anzulis.

This fish goes on sale in the form of frozen gutted carcasses. Butchering it is quite simple: there are few large bones in the grenadier and no small ones at all. Its meat is juicy and quite dense, with a sweet taste. Grenadiers can be baked even fillets, even a whole carcass, stew, fry, add to soups. This fish also makes wonderful pies.

Shops often sell both the black grenadier and the small-eyed macrurus under the same name. But it's easier to distinguish them: the black grenadier is covered with a tough dark gray skin, and its watery relative is distinguished by an almost complete absence of scales - its skin is white, covered with a mesh pattern.
