The following is my answer to your question, I hope it can help you, and it is also a common way for me to pickle salted fish at home! The salted fish preserved in this way is not fishy, especially fragrant! Please pay attention to my private letter if you need a specific formula!
Pickling method for idle fish
1, buy a herring or moray eel of moderate size that you like;
2. Open the operation from the back, cut the fishbone on the back, and take out the internal organs and gills of the fish;
3. Don't rinse with water, but use a clean rag to clean the blood and black inner membrane in the fish body a little bit, revealing fresh and tender fish;
4. Use your own processed fine salt or pepper and salt (stir-fry peppers and fine salt in an iron pan) to evenly coat the fish, but don't coat it on the fish skin;
5. After smearing the salt, sprinkle it on the salted fish with sorghum wine to keep it mellow;
6. Put it in a pottery basin, porcelain altar, or basin, cover it with a piece of white paper, and then press out the fishy water in the fish with a stone for about a week;
7. Finally, take out the fish that has been marinated for a week, spread the salty side with bamboo pieces, and use a strong string to pass through the eyes of the fish head and hang it outdoors to dry. Try to blow dry rather than dry, so that the fish is delicious;
8. Before eating, cut a section and soak it in water, then steam it with onion, ginger and wine. Whether you drink or eat, your family, relatives and friends are salivating at the mellow chewiness, firm meat quality and eye-catching color. What are you waiting for? Let's act now. It doesn't matter if it's delicious.
If you want to be more delicious, you can soak fish pieces, fish pieces or fillets in milk, sprinkle with a little dry flour, or fry or fry them, which tastes good; After smearing salt on the fish belly to remove fishy smell, wash and dry it, add a small amount of cooking wine, add 3 ~ 5 slices of ginger and onion, stir fry up and down a few times to make the fish taste even, then cover the bowl and marinate for half an hour. Fish tastes more delicious when cooked.
