Monday, February 27, 2006. To rinse or not to rinse: that is the question. Alanna Kellogg from Kitchen Parade. Just asked me a great question about rinsing fish. Do you know why do recipes sometimes (but not always) suggest rinsing filets? Seems so basic - I'm guessing it's for health/bacteria reasons but if that's the case, yuck, who wants to eat fish in the first place (is the reaction I have and I'm guessing others as well)?
