Yep, wash the brine off and then let it dry to form a pellicle. I didn't wash it the first time I smoked fish, and it was way too salty. I guess everybody is supposed to know that you wash brine off, so it's not mentioned in recipes (how was I supposed to know).

I wish cast nets were legal in Southern California. I've floated over massive schools of sardines that were so large they faded into the underwater abyss and extended to my visible horizon. I could've sank my boat with 'em. Also, pressure cook 'em after you smoke 'em so the bones are soft. Put the smoked fish in a container seperate from the water in the pressure cooker. The high pressure steam penetrates through the skeleton. The smoked fish gets moist but not soupy.

I remember the first small craft flipover I pulled onto and was blessed to have just done my Coast Guard Inspections and fully stocked up on all safety gear they suggested.... If it wasnt for the Coast Guards fast response that day IDK if the couple would have made it, they had been in water 5 hours before I saw them.

A friend of mine was a middle upper rank officer in the Coast Guard Reserve. I knew him from his other job as a privacy officer with the largest government agency in the USA. I was finding on a lake in the Appalachian mountains, and all of a sudden there he was with his 2 man crew on a Coast Guard boat. We exchanged hellos, but he said, "I'm working right now. I'll see you at the office." And off he went after they put the Coast Guard truck away. Coast Guard is not only on the ocean. Edit: someone from the Navy said I must use naval terms regarding rank . So I deleted the rank bit altogether.

Our southeast AZN recipe is to take the fish n put it in between nets n put on top of the boat as our boats have cabins. The sun will slowly cook the fish to dry like a jerky. Salty fish to eat with rice. However, our old ancient recipe is not hygienic as fly can lay eggs in your food and you ingest the microorganism that you can not see. This is how we do our dry fish as we narleans fisherman have kept the tradition. By the time you port, the fish should be ready. It should be safe to sun tan your fish out in the middle of the ocean right? Perhaps but flys and critters do use your boat as a home too. For personal consumption only. This would never pass fda regulation to sell.
