The following is my answer to your question, I hope it can help you, and it is also my common method of pickling salted fish at home! The salted fish pickled in this way is not fishy and especially fragrant! Please pay attention to my private letter if you need a specific formula!
Pickling method of 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 remove the fish's internal organs and gills;
3. Don't wash 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 fine salt or pepper salt processed by yourself (stir-fry pepper and fine salt in an iron pan) and apply it to the fish evenly, but don't apply it to the fish skin;
5. After smearing the salt, sprinkle it slightly on the salted fish with sorghum wine to keep the proper mellow taste;
6. Put it in a pottery basin, a porcelain altar, or a basin, cover it with a piece of white paper, and then press the stone to squeeze out the fishy water in the fish and keep pressing it for about a week;
7. Finally, take out the fish that has been marinated for a week, use bamboo pieces to spread the salted side, use a relatively strong thin rope, pass through the eyes of the fish head, and hang it outdoors to dry. Try to blow dry and not 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 it's drinking or eating, the mellow chewing, tight meat quality and eye-catching color make your family, relatives and friends drool. What are you waiting for? Let's act now. Delicious food is indifferent.
If you want to be more delicious, you can soak the fish pieces, fish segments or fillets in milk, sprinkle a little dry flour on them, or fry or fry them, which tastes good; After smearing the fish belly with refined salt to remove the fishy smell, wash and dry it, add a small amount of cooking wine, then add 3 ~ 5 slices of ginger and onion, toss it up and down a few times to make the fish taste evenly, then cover the bowl and marinate for half an hour. The fish tastes more delicious after cooking.
