Does drying dried fish at 20 degrees stink?

Fish salted at 20 degrees won't stink. The fishy smell of dried fish is caused by fish corrosion, which is mainly caused by too much water, such as wet storage position, too little salt and insufficient dehydration.

Therefore, it is recommended to marinate dried fish, especially antiseptic spices, such as fennel, star anise and salt. At the same time, the position of dried fish needs to ensure sufficient sunshine and ventilation, which is beneficial to the water in the fish body to be discharged as soon as possible, so as to prevent the fishy smell.

Drying method of dried fish:

1, cut and wash: cut the belly or back of the fish, take out the internal organs and wash them, then rinse them repeatedly with clear water, then wash off the mucus and blood stains in the fish with a brush, and then control the water. If the fish is thick, you can cut a few knives on it to let the sun and wind blow in and speed up the drying process.

2, curing ventilation: salt has antibacterial effect, which can prevent dried fish from deteriorating. According to the size of the fish, marinate it with salt water, then add a proper amount of salt and evenly smear it on the inside, gills, eyeballs and other parts of the fish. Let the fish fully absorb the salt, and then put the dried fish in a semi-cold or ventilated place to dry and ventilate.

3, turn over to dry: when drying fish, put it in a dry and sunny place. It should not be placed in a rainy and humid place, nor exposed to the sun for a long time, which is easy to deteriorate and be polluted by moisture. When drying, you need to turn over the noodles every two hours and put a net outside the dried fish to prevent mosquito bites.
