Instructions
Step 1
Immediately after the fish is salted, wrap it in paper or cloth and put it in the refrigerator. Shelf life in the refrigerator is about five days. Check the product periodically: if a slippery white coating appears on the fish, it should be washed off, and the fish should be eaten immediately. Press on the fish with your finger - if there is a dent in the surface that does not straighten, then the product, most likely, has already begun to deteriorate and it is dangerous to eat it.
Step 2
Store the herring in brine, but not in salted water, but in natural water - that is, in the juice that the fish gave when stored in a barrel. If there is not enough brine, dampen a cloth with it and wrap the fish with this cloth.

Another way to store herring: put the fish in a glass or enamel dish, fill with vegetable oil.
Step 4
Red fish varieties are perfectly stored in the freezer when frozen. Keep in paper or rag, but do not use polyethylene for packaging.
Step 5
Do not put herring, mackerel, or other types of white meat fish in the freezer. When thawed, it will become watery and lose its taste.
Step 6
Do not store fish near vegetables, eggshells and other similar products, as they may contain microorganisms on their surface that can spoil the fish.
Step 7
If it is not possible to put the fish in the refrigerator, it can be stored in a dark, dry room at a temperature of 10-12 degrees.
Step 8
It is highly recommended to pay attention to the condition of the fish even before you started to salt it, the fresher it is, the longer it will naturally be stored after processing.
Step 9
If you are in doubt about the freshness of the fish, it is better to throw it out than risk it. Fish poisoning is one of the most severe.
