Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I just had a look at the start of the thread, and I salted them nearly a year ago.

I tried adding some of my salt cured fish to some fresh olive oil, and after two weeks discovered a new disgusting flavour!

Which is interesting.

I like new discoveries.

I also like interesting things.

But I dont like my overly salted garfish in my overly floral flavoured quality, extra virgin olive oil.

In some strange way they became even saltier. I suspect salt must be oil soluble.


This is a confirmed total fail as anchovies.


Although as a bar snack, the rinsed salted fish are still a hit with my Japanese friends (and me).



They will also make for some excellent "tacklebox stable" bait. Or at least I think they will.

I'll test them soon.

It will be nice to be able to snack on my bait if I'm not catching anything.

I found my salt cured fish in the back of my fridge the other day.

Given my immunocompromised state due to my Crohn's medication, I thought I should eat some and see what happened

I didnt die.

In fact the stuff is exactly as I left it three and a half years ago.

Definitely tacklebox stable bait.

Brave, very brave

I just baffed a bit in my mouth.
