Cured yellowtail - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ggiannig89 · 06-24-2015, 06:06 AM

Being a fan of cured and smoked salmon, I'm the process of curing some yellowtail my family and I caught on a Father's Day charter. My question is, have any of you done it yourselves? If so, how did it come out? I'm pretty excited to taste how the final product is.
I didn't use this recipe but just to give you an idea of how it works here's a quick link

There it is. Yani's videos are the best!
Might be a dumb question, but after the ~30hrs in the fridge, do you simply wipe the excess salt off or do you need to wash to fish before serving?

Shows how smart i am

From most recipes they wash it off and then dry it.
Some just have it wiped off. From what I can tell is its way too salty if not wiped off well or washed off.
