fish fillets turn blue?
« on: Feb 17, 2014, 08:02 AM »
Left some filets i did overnight in salted water, read somewhere it helps draw out blood and whatnot. Checked this morning and the filets had a bluish tint to them. This is the first year ive kept gills and wondering what the deal was. Any thoughts?

do you mean opaque? the salt water has a chemical reaction,why salt melts ice? you actually "cook" the fish in the brine,sushi time?

It just seemed odd. They dont smell or anything just never heard or seen it before. Then again i mostly kept perch and crappie until this season. Guess  can bake a few up and see what happens

I always soak my filets in salt water and a quarter teaspoon baking soda, then rinse well. I've never had mine turn blue. Perhaps a chemical reaction between iodine in the salt and chlorine in the water?  I use non-iodine salt.

     That sounds real good TB but poor mans shrimp would be dropping the filets in boiling water for a couple minuets than dipping them in butter or cocktail sauce....   ;D
That's what we use to when we went sucker fishing in the spring....
