2. Arrange the prepared fish neatly, and then sprinkle the salt on the fish. When spreading the salt, be sure not to miss every fish. Put the salted fish into the pickling pool. The middle layers are stacked layer by layer until they are ten centimeters above the pond mouth. After about four hours, when the fish shrinks to be flush with the pond mouth, stones are placed on top to allow the fish meat to fully absorb the salt.

The dirt inside makes the fish cleaner. When the weather is good, the fish will become dried after two or three days in the sun. The dryness and humidity will be such that no moisture can be removed by pinching it with your hands.
