Step 1: Buy fresh fish in the market and drain the water on the surface. When the water on the surface of the fish is completely dry, break the fish from behind with a knife and make it look like a big flat plate for use.
Step 2: Prepare a small pot, add proper amount of edible salt, pepper and fennel into the pot, stir well and smear it on the fish.
Tip: The ratio of fish to salt is 2 tablespoons of edible salt for a catty of fish.
Step 3: Prepare a big clean basin and make sure there is no water in it. Then put the seasoned fish into a big pot layer by layer, turn the fish every day and marinate for about three days.
Tip: Many people hang fish to dry when dressing them. This is not correct. The correct way is to marinate the fish in a big pot for about three days, so that the fish oil and aroma will be marinated and the salted fish will be more delicious.
Step 4: After three days, everyone takes out the fish and hangs it in a cool and ventilated place until the fish is 70% to 80% dry.
