What You'll Learn

You will learn which fish suit which method, how dried seafood works as seasoning, and how to handle the smell.

Fresh and dried do different jobs

Fresh fish is the protein. Dried fish is the seasoning. Bonito flakes and dried sardine belong on the seasoning shelf, not in the fridge.

💡

Salt fish thirty minutes before cooking and wipe it. It firms the flesh and removes the smell people dislike.

🎓
Did you know?

Dried bonito is one of the hardest foods in the world. A whole block needs a specialised plane to shave it.

🔑
Pro Tip

Buy fillets with the skin on when you can. The skin protects the flesh in the pan and crisps into the best part.
