Sorry it took so long to reply I had forgotten about this thread. I just put my fish in a big bowl and pour the mountain dew in and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the refridgerator overnight. I have needed fish in an emergency when a family member hadn't taken out enough for a fish fry and we soaked them in buttermilk for 4 hours in the fridge and they came out very nice as well.

Mountain dew is just one option and milk works great & several other things too. I also have been known to soak my fish in crystal pepper sauce before battering them. It's like a hotsauce but not as spicy as tobasco. Just gives it a good flavor. You gotta mix it up once in a while so it doesn't get boring. Especially if your eating fish 3 times a week, lol

Most fish though I've learned like everyone else that if you see a dark line or reddish colored line running along the fillet to trim that out and that removes a lot of the bad fishy taste.
