If the fish is fresh, I don't wash them at all, and I cooked it right away.  However, if the fish has a strong odor, I wash it with water first; then add a pinch of salt and add a drop of lime/lemon juice, and then I let it sit there for few minutes. It will help remove the smell of the fish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003cstrongu003eNote:u003c/strongu003e There is no need to rewash the fish with water.
