Re: fermented fish - can you totally cook fish in the brine?/BE CAREFULL

March 30, 2006

It is quite dangerous playing around with fermented fish...you really

have to know what you are doing..The nearest I have seen to Fermented

fish...is the Norwegian RakFish...it is normally made by professional

companies who specialise in it..however, there are some who attempt

to do it at home, and there are quite a few cases of otulism in

Norway because of Rakish..

It is better just to stick the fish for 2-3 days in a brine solution

in the fridge and then take it out and pickle it with vinegar and put

it back in the fridge...you will be much safer ..if you keep it IN

THE FRIDGE ...all the time when in the brine and when in the pickled

solution...DONT LEAVE IT OUT PLEASE !!!!!
