Lemonema: beneficial properties

Before moving on to the recipes, it would be advisable to tell you why lemonema meat is so beneficial. Firstly, this fish can be eaten by all people; it has no contraindications. Lemonema is especially useful during pregnancy, the elderly and children. 50 g of this fish contains the daily dose of iodine needed by a person, which makes it indispensable for diseases of the thyroid gland. Like most fish, Lemonema is enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids that have antioxidant properties.

Fish contains B vitamins, vitamins E and PP. It is rich in potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, chlorine, zinc, phosphorus, sodium and even silver. Due to the increased protein content in its composition, lemonema meat is in some way superior in nutritional value to beef or pork. And most importantly, its protein is absorbed much better.

People who often eat lemonema are less likely to suffer from cancer and are less susceptible to colds and other diseases. The meat of this fish significantly increases immunity and resistance to disease, resists the development of joint pain, and also has a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels.

Lemonema is often prescribed to diabetics to normalize blood sugar and adjust the nutritional system. The meat of this fish contains practically no carbohydrates, which does not increase blood sugar levels. In addition, Lemonema is ideal for obese people or those on a diet.

The benefits of this fish are difficult to overestimate. Perhaps its only disadvantage is that in our area you can rarely buy it anywhere.

In general, fish tend to move long distances throughout the year, with a certain seasonality. So in the summer it mainly migrates northward to the east of Kamchatka and the Sea of Okhotsk. In the cold season, the fish goes to spawn on the shores of Japan (about 75% of the population spawns near the island of Hokkaido).

What it is

Lemonema is a valuable marine fish and belongs to the order of codfish, the pest family. It has an oblong shape, pressed on the sides and small brown scales. Lemonema meat is distinguished by the absence of small bones and is white in color, reminiscent of cod meat in taste. The maximum size reaches 72 centimeters in length, the size of an ordinary individual is 50 centimeters (about two to three kilograms of weight). Lemonema's habitat is in the waters of the Pacific Ocean; it is caught in the waters of the Okhotsk and Bering Seas, as well as the Kuril Strait.

In order to be sure that lemonema will be beneficial and retain its taste, you need to know and use the rules for its preparation. It usually goes on sale on domestic shelves frozen. Defrosting this fish is one of the main important aspects of its preparation. This type of fish cannot be defrosted at room temperature, or using a microwave oven or a container of warm water. The defrosting process must be carried out on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, periodically drying the fish with a paper towel in order to remove excess moisture from the surface. It is important that the meat retains its natural structure during the defrosting process.

Lemonema can be prepared as first and second courses. Fish does not lose its taste during any type of heat treatment (from boiled in soup to roasting over an open fire). Fish meat can also be marinated, stuffed and made into fish cutlets.

Delicate fish Limonella

I love an interesting fish called limonella. You can often hear that this fish ends up in fishermen’s nets by accident, as it often migrates. However, in 1974, limonella was included in the list of commercial fish.

The Japanese authorities were the first to do this. Limonella - Laemonema longipes - is a marine fish from the cod family, according to other sources from the pest family.

The body length of this fish can reach 80 cm, weight 1.5 kg.

If limonella is not caught and eaten by predators, it can live for 17 years. This fish reaches sexual maturity at 5-6 years.

The elongated body of limonella is compressed from the sides and tapers towards the tail. The fish is covered with small brownish scales. Limonella has an interesting feature - it has two dorsal fins, one of them long, the other short. And the pelvic fins of limonella look like long whiskers, stretching along the entire belly and fluffing out closer to the tail. No other fish has such pelvic fins.

This fish lives in the Pacific Ocean, closer to the shores of central Japan, in the Seas of Japan, Okhotsk, Barents and Bering Seas. In Russia it can be found in the Kuril Straits.

Lemonema fish: benefits and harm

Lemonema is undoubtedly a very healthy fish, however, it can cause some harm to the body if purchased from dubious suppliers. The fish tastes like cod. Due to the presence of beneficial qualities, it is quickly absorbed and is recommended for consumption by pregnant and lactating women, as well as children.

The components of the product are:

Due to its significant iodine content, this fish is recommended to be eaten by people suffering from diseases associated with the thyroid gland. Lemonema meat also actively fights cancer cells. The product increases immunity and improves the body's resistance. Seafood has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. An important fact is that the product contains virtually no carbohydrates, which can increase the amount of glucose in the blood. Doctors often advise people to cope with diabetes in this way.

Cooking process

Fish is a lemon! This tender and dietary fish has a complicated name, but preparing this product is quite a pleasant experience. Lemonema has a taste similarity to pollock and pike perch at the same time.

It’s so easy to clean this snow-white beauty that you won’t want its other fish “sisters” afterwards. Lemonema fish hides valuable, quickly digestible protein and a storehouse of iodine in its treasure trove of benefits. Let's treat ourselves to a proper dinner and make some crispy fried lemonema.

Products are taken according to the list. Lemonema carcasses defrost very quickly, so there is no need to do this in advance.

Cleaning lemonema is a pleasure. Lightly run a knife over the skin and remove the upper spinal fin and lower fins. Clean the belly, and then divide the carcasses into two or three parts. Lemonema is fried in large pieces.

Fish preparations need to be salted generously. Pepper to taste.

After which the pieces are “marinated” in a raw egg.

Roll in flour and place in vegetable oil on a hot frying pan. During frying, the lemonema turns over. Frying time: 5 minutes on each side, including the sides.

Serve fried lemonema with your favorite side dish and dill. Fresh dill goes perfectly with the delicate taste of lemonema, crispy on the outside and snow-white on the inside.

How to choose the right fish

Fish experts have developed several tips that will help you choose the right product.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the eyes. Before purchasing, you need to carefully study this organ. They should be convex and in no case cloudy. This is a sign of staleness. Remember that any fish must have light eyes

The body itself should be smooth. Pay attention to humidity. If the fish is dry, then it is not worth taking. Any mucus, stains, damage is a sign of damage.

If you want to check the product for freshness, lightly press it with your finger. If the depression is quickly restored, then the fish can be taken. If the depression remains in its original position, the fish is not fresh. If you buy frozen, try to choose one that has less snow and ice. Otherwise, it has already been frozen and thawed several times.
