Corned Fish
Ingredients
Directions
Split the fish in the center and remove the large backbone if necessary.
Sprinkle the bottom of a keg with rock salt.
Layer fish with skin side down and cover with more rock salt.
Repeat layers, finishing with a thicker layer of salt.
Store in a dry, cool place for 3 to 5 days.
To prepare, soak the fish overnight in cold water before cooking.
