Frozen fish, particularly oily types like bluefish, sardines, salmon, and tuna, often lose their appeal after thawing. Once vibrant and flavorful when fresh, these fish can turn dark, oily, and overly strong in taste after being frozen. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: brining with Hi Mountain Seasonings.
Hi Mountain Seasonings brines, long trusted for enhancing flavor in meat and poultry, are equally effective for fish. When used to brine frozen fish, they help remove excess moisture, mellow out overpowering flavors, and dramatically improve texture. The result is a cleaner-tasting, more tender filet that cooks beautifully and retains a fresh taste.
Oily fish are naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D—nutrients that support heart health and overall wellness. However, after freezing, these same oils can impart a strong flavor that some find offensive. Brining with Hi Mountain Seasonings helps restore balance to these healthy filets, transforming them from tough and overly fishy to delicate and delicious.
What might seem counterintuitive is actually a proven technique: brining pulls out excess moisture while also locking in flavor, making the fish easier to cook without drying out. Research published in ScienceDirect supports this, showing that brining helps maintain moisture and reduces toughness caused by freezing and thawing.
Hi Mountain Seasonings encourages home cooks, anglers, and seafood lovers alike to try brining their frozen fish before cooking. Whether you're working with a filet of bluefish or a slab of frozen salmon, a simple soak in Hi Mountain brine can make all the difference.
