I use buttermilk to tenderize: boneless skinless chicken breast, and boneless pork loin chops. Soak for about an hour or so. If you soak fish fillets like cod or snapper, it gets rid of all the "fishy" flavor. The lactic acid in buttermilk dissolves proteins in the same way monosodium glutimate (MSG) does. It makes the meat break down without the rotting process. I soak my steaks and roasts for 8-12 hours and my gamey tasting meats like some fish and venison for up to 24 hours. Just rinse off and cook.
What else can I help you with?

Why is hamburger meat red?
Because hamburgers are made with beef which is a red meat. Once cooked well done the meat becomes brown. If the meat is still red then it hasn't been cooked to well done. A lot of people prefer it medium rare which would leave the meat partially red. The more the meat is cooked the darker it becomes and the more flavor it loses.
If frozen fish thaws can it be frozen again?
No, frozen is frozen. But you can refreeze something that has been thawed. You can refreeze thawed meat long as there are still ice crystals on it. Once completely thawed then you need to cook it first then refreeze. This applies to solid pieces only, ground meat once more than half thawed needs to be cooked first then refrozen always.

Can you refreeze cooked chicken that was previously frozen?
No, it is not safe to refreeze cooked chicken that has already been frozen once. Once cooked chicken has been thawed, it should be consumed within a few days and not refrozen to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Can defrosted raw meat be frozen again once cooked?
Yes. But keep in mind that if it sat for any period after being cooked and prior to being frozen, it's crawling with bacteria (with safe food handling, most of this bacteria is harmless, but should the preparer not wash his hands after touching something it could have been inoculated with a hazardous bacteria). So the frozen "cooked" meat will have to be recooked once it thaws anyway, and most likely feel like you're eating an old shoe since most of the moisture was removed TWICE.
Can pork sausage be refrozen?
