The invention discloses a fresh-keeping method of freshwater fishes. The fresh-keeping method comprises the following steps: feeding and slaughtering the freshwater fishes, blending a
salting solution,
salting the freshwater fishes, and freezing and storing. According to the fresh-keeping method disclosed by the invention, the freshwater fishes are fed with a
saline solution before being slaughtered and the freshwater fishes are rinsed with the
saline solution after being slaughtered and washed, so that fish
flesh cells reach an optimal
salting-in state; the fish
flesh muscle cells are protected at freezing, storage and unfreezing phases, and are at a
stable state all the time, so that the loss of cytochylema in the
muscle cells can be reduced. Meanwhile, the fishes are salted with the salting solution prepared from pure water, table salt, white granulated
sugar and I+G, so that the fish
flesh muscle cells can keep
moisture at the freezing, storage and unfreezing phases; especially, water loss of the fish flesh muscle cells is reduced after the fish flesh muscle cells are unfrozen, and the
disadvantage that the
umami is reduced, caused by freezing, storage and unfreezing steps can be made up.
