Dried Fish thread. Why haven't you tried this god tier snack yet?

Torrfisk is awesome as a lunch snack. Too bad the sodium is kill.

I can never find dried fish anywhere but in Asian groceries. Also the sodium, as per >>8158455

>>8158545
Ah fuck, I'm apparently drunk and retarded.

>>8158545
What's this sodium meme?

>>8158551
30 gr pack of dried fish has 7 gr sodium

>>8158561
So that's why it's so good with beer. Lads, can dried fish even become any better?

>>8158455
how big are these? i've had tiny little dried sardines from japan.

>>8158578
I would say those are around 350gram.

no clue, just a google image that looked good.
i haven't been fishing since i moved to the west coast and they don't seem to be very popular out here. seen the spread/salad stuff a few times in cold cases but never whitefish or smoked whitefish. i guess i'll have to get my ass out there myself eventually and find some whitefish for smoking and walleye for other purposes.

How are you supposed to cook dried fish? Anyone have a good recipe?

>>8159358
Dried fish and shredded chicken fried rice. Look it up, or go to your nearest Chinatown and order it for yourself.

ive had salmon jerkey. it was not great.

>>8158455
Only see them in asian grocers and they look shady as fuk
Would eat

>>8159358
i believe you can eat them as is but i think those are the smoked kind if i am mistaken

>>8159358
bacalao

Can you eat stockfish/baccala as a snack?

>>8158455
I had two earlier. Dip em in vinegar and eat with rice. yummm

>>8159912
Norwegians do it, and Icelanders too, but they're all a bit weird.

>>8158455
It's always over-dried. Now if you are fishing, it's really easy to make yourself. Just pile it with salt for a day and then, hang it somewhere rain-proof outdoors.

>>8158455
It fuckin stinks.

Dried sqid is better

From time to time I get pic related at my local Asian supermarket. I always manage to eat the entire pack while on a drunken binge soon after.

>>8158455
can you just eat it as is? are the bones removed?

How eat

>>8160709
>>8160755
it's clean meat, usually. Either eat it as is or rehydrate it in soups and stews.

>>8158455
Literally what I feed my dog as a snack. Are you a dog, OP?

Dried anchovies are traditionally made into a dish called 'sambol ikan bilis' with onions and peanuts in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

I also used to live in the North Solomon Islands where drying and smoking fish was a traditional prep method. To this day I can remember the smell and taste of their smoked fish- it wasn't great.
