Clean the fish but do not wash it. Remove the blood line. If the fish is large, split it all the way down to the back skin.
Rub the fish well with salt and a little sugar and place it in a clean wooden tub. Lay the fish quite tightly packed and with the belly up.
Place a lid weighted with about 10 kg on top. The brine must always stand above the fish. If it does not, pour over cold brine, 2 tablespoons of salt per litre of water.
Cover the tub well and keep it cold, either buried in sand or in a cellar. Ready to use after 6–8 weeks.
