As fish is cooked, the tissue changes from a soft consistency to a firm one. A similar change takes place when fish is pickled by soaking it in vinegar (acetic acid). In fact, some people prepare fish for eating by pickling instead of cooking. Propose an explanation why the two processes give somewhat similar results.
