The invention relates to a method for effectively removing the fishy smell of chub surimi. The method comprises the steps of: temporarily feeding fresh chubs in aerated
clean water for 12 hours, washing the chubs, then
cutting off chub tails and
bloodletting, removing scales, heads and internal organs of the chubs, then rinsing fish
flesh by
clean water, dehydrating the fish
flesh, and then preparing the dehydrated fish
flesh into surimi by a meat mincer; chopping up fresh fineleaf
schizonepeta herb and gingers, then stirring the chopped fresh fineleaf
schizonepeta herb and gingers by a juicing
machine, and taking fineleaf
schizonepeta herb juice and ginger juice for later use; and adding the fineleaf schizonepeta herb juice into the surimi, treating the surimi in a
thermostat water bath, then adding tea
polyphenol into the
thermostat water bath, treating the surimi in the
thermostat water bath for 50 minutes, or adding the ginger juice and cooking
wine into the surimi, treating the surimi in the thermostat water bath, then adding the tea
polyphenol into the thermostat water bath, and treating the surimi in the thermostat water bath to obtain the fishy smell-free chub surimi. In the method, combined fishy smell removing technique is adopted, and the removal ratios of a plurality of main components causing the fishy smell of the chub are close to 100 percent; and the
water content, proteins, color and quality of nutrients such as amino acids of treated surimi products are hardly affected. The method has the advantages that: the operation is simple, used raw materials are edible additives, and no residue and
pollution are caused; and the fishy smell of the chub is completely removed without affecting the chub
flavor.
