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

Ggiannig89 · 06-24-2015, 07:06 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.

My cured yellowtail with thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced lemon chunks, basil, cayenne pepper, pepper, drizzled with olive oil.
Quite tasty if I may say so myself.

My garden is my 2nd hobby after fishing. Nothing like catching your own fish and cooking it with your own veggies.
