Taking advantage of the hot weather, I came up to an idea to try drying fish. As a lover of dried fish, it urged me to give it a try in my own way. I regularly buy salted dried fish from the Filipino shop here but the saltiness sometimes stops me to eat it very often. I even wash it with water before I cook it just to lessen the salt. With my own dried fish, I wanted it just right according to my liking and taste, not salty and more flavory. Basically, I marinated it overnight with vinegar, a little soy suace, onions, garlic, dried bay leaves and juice of fresh lemon. Then I dried it in the sun covered with a net with tiny holes on it where flies cannot get in through to touch it and ruin my process. Flies are so many here on hot days and so annoying. It took about 2 days to dry it turning each sides every now and then to give an even dryness on each side. When it was done, I gave some to my friends and let them judged it for themselves and glad they liked it. They even placed an order but I just told them I have to think about it.
