How to marinate cured fish to make it delicious? To be honest, the first time I ate cured fish was last year. When I was almost 30, I encountered cured fish for the first time. My sister-in-law is from Xiangyang, Hubei Province. When she went home for the Chinese New Year, she brought back special local pickled fish from the north. The reckless man rarely eats fish, let alone cured fish, and he also gets into a lot of ridiculous fun with the cured fish

My mother rarely cooks fish. After my sister-in-law brought the cured fish back, the whole family People are at a loss as to how to eat it. My sister-in-law is calling her family in Hubei for advice, my brother is searching on the Internet, and my mother is constantly recalling and summarizing how to eat bacon. The whole family works together, just so that the bacon can be eaten better and not be wasted

In the end, I still didn’t ask for a suitable method. My mother, who doesn’t often cook fish, steamed and fried it, but the cured fish was still too salty to eat, so she had to bite the bullet and finish it. Later, my sister-in-law’s mother also called and introduced in detail the curing process and methods of cured fish, as well as how to eat it. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it was like waking up from a dream
