Default How to Freshen Salted Fish (1800’s)

How to Freshen Salted Fish (1800’s)

Place fish flesh side down in a large utensil. Cover with water. Allow to stand 24 hours. Change water several times during this period. If possible the fish should be placed on a rack, which will hold it a few inches from the bottom of the utensil. Slightly warm water and gashes cut into the flesh of the fish will hasten the freshening process. Freshened salt fish may be prepared as any fresh fish.
