How to salt fish for drying in brine.
Wash the fish and remove all the insides. There is no need to remove the scales.
Soak small portions in the salt solution for no more than 1 or 2 minutes. For this solution, 40 grams of salt are given per 1 liter of water.
Now, immediately immerse the fish in undiluted 9% vinegar for 2 minutes, then in a cooled saturated salt solution, but for 30 minutes.
Preparing a saturated saline solution is simple and easy. To do this, pour enough salt into the water so that the salt remains undissolved when stirred. Next, bring it to a boil and wait for it to cool.
After 30 minutes, simply remove the fish from the brine and hang it somewhere ventilated to dry. When it dries, a thin, white layer of salt will remain on its surface.
You can store such small salted fish in boxes with holes for air intake. Its storage time, if properly salted and preserved, can last several months.
