How to deliciously salt anchovy fish
To begin, rinse the fish thoroughly under running cool water. Place in a colander and allow excess liquid to drain. Prepare a container for salting fish. A plastic jar with a lid or a regular glass jar will do. Place some salt and spices on the bottom. Place the anchovy. Sprinkle with salt and spices again.
Second layer of fish and spices. Cover with a lid and shake the container several times, thereby mixing the fish with spices. Place the container with fish in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. Leave for a day to salt out.
The fish will give juice, absorb as much salt as needed, and be filled with spices.
Take a sample after at least 24 hours. If you are satisfied with the salting, then transfer the anchovy to a plate and pour in unrefined sunflower oil. Cut the onion into half rings and place on the anchovy, this will add even more piquancy to the finished dish.
Enjoy tasty, healthy and fatty fish.
