Drying is the oldest known preservation method for fish

Drying is the oldest known, widely used and least expensive food preservation method.

During drying, water from a subject gets removed which reduces microbial activity, and thus

prevents spoilage.

The reduced water content not only influence the microbial activity but also retards the chemical as well as the enzymatic processes happening in the food system.

Dried products are stable products that can be stored at ambient temperatures.

Hence the distribution

costs are also minimum while transportation and storage.

Fish Pickles Overview

Fish pickle is made by marinating fish in venegar or brine, and also by fermenting it anaerobically. The pH of fish pickle is usually 4.6 or lower to reduce microbial activity. Fish pickles are spicy and pungent, and are also made with vegetables like lime, ginger, garlic, and gooseberry. Some tips for making fish pickle: Oily fish like mackerel and herring are best for pickling because their texture changes in a delightful way when cured. To make fish pickle, you can use ingredients like turmeric, red chili powder, coriander seeds, jeera, cloves, poppy seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom, star anise, lemon, oil, ginger garlic paste, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Store fish pickle in an airtight container in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. Use a dry, clean spoon to scoop the pickle from the bottle, and tighten the lid immediately after. You can eat fish pickle with hot rice, chapati, or paratha.
