Steps:

• 1. Soak fish in salt brine in fridge for 48 hours. BE SURE FISH IS COMPLETELY COVERED BY SOLUTION & DO NOT PACK TIGHT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS RECIPE.

• 7. Place fish in jars with solution. (DO NOT PACK TIGHT.) Be sure solution covers fish completely. Put lids on & store in fridge. Let set in fridge at least a week before serving. Serve with crackers or any other type of appetizer.
