Salted fish has a long history. Today, I will introduce the marinating method of Chinese salted fish. The marinating time here is 48 hours. You can also shorten the marinating time. The salt in the fish pieces will be reduced and the taste will be lighter .We use mackerel, which is delicious and very suitable for making salted or smoked fish. After the salted fish was marinated, I made it into steamed salted fish. I hope you like this dish too.
