Another Reason To Keep Baking Soda In The Pantry
Over Memorial Day weekend we had baked whitefish (melt a couple of tablespoons butter with whatever "fish herbs" you have nearby, once melted pour over two whitefish fillets, and bake in a 400F oven for 7-10 minutes).
After dinner I could not scrub off the fish skin from the baking dish, even after soaking. I was about to harvest some scouring rush then remembered we had baking soda.
I poured out the soaking water, sprinkled in a couple of heaping tablespoons of baking soda, and by rubbing in the baking soda a paste formed that cleaned the fish right off. Plus, baking soda is good for the septic system.
