Hello, my hive friends!
My warmest greetings to one and all especially in this wonderful community. How are you? Hope you're all well and great!
Anyways, I'm inspired to share with you what I discovered this weekend.
In the past few weeks, I observed that we felt summer already. The weeds started to dry, the ground started to crack and the heat of the sun sometimes made me lazy to walk outdoors. Sometimes, there were days that it rains but the ground was still thirsty. But because of the Summer Feels, I innovate something useful.
Saturday morning, I and my hubby went to the market to buy food for our consumption. There was much fish displayed and I decided to make homemade Dried Fish. My hubby said because of the heat of the sun, the fish will surely dry in all-day exposure.
Dried Fish is commonly known as Daing or Tuyo in Filipino terms and paired with rice. You can also dip your fried fish in a dash of vinegar with chili and tomatoes on it.
LET'S MAKE OUR DRIED FISH
The first thing to do washed the fish thoroughly and started to cut each one in a half or split it into a butterfly fillet. Repeat the process until all will be cut.
Clean the fish, remove the guts and gills, and washed it after. Again, repeat the process until all are well-cleaned.
TO MAKE OUR DRIED FISH TASTY AND DELICIOUS
These were the simple ingredients to prepare.
- One cup of coconut vinegar
- Two or three tablespoons of salt
- Five cloves of garlic
Mixed all the ingredients, let the salt dissolve, and after which soaked the fish in the mixed ingredients one by one and leave it in a cool place for two to three hours to marinate.
LET US DRY THE FISH!
Get the screen tray to be used as our base and make a pile of marinated fish. Bring the screen tray with the piled fish into the area where the sun directly hit our marinated fish.
When you're going to display it closer to the ground be sure to guard it because it might be eaten by animals especially by cats because fish smells good to them.
In our case, we put it above the roof so that aside from it directly absorbing the heat of the sun it is far from the animals as well.
We will wait for it until the sun sets. This gonna be our dish this dinner and we paired it with rice. I will fry our dried fish and my kids will surely love it.
Taraa let's eat!!!
That's all for now my hive friends. Thank you for sparing time reading this until here. Have a great day everyone and God bless.
