Cooking method
First of all, thread a convenient amount of fish on a thick yarn through the eyes. There can be from two to ten or more fish on one thread. Next, prepare a deep enough dish for salting, pour in the brine and put the yarn of the fish there, having previously tied the ends with a knot. Cover everything with dry salt (12-14 percent of the weight of the fish) and wait for the fish to infuse, stirring it slightly. On average, a small roach is salted in two days, for a large one it will take five or six.
If the fish is normally salted, it will have a compacted back, and the meat on the cut is dark gray. Rinse the fish after salting and hang it on poles in the fresh air. It should languish for 2-3 weeks, depending on the size and weather.
