Raw unfiltered video of making homemade fish sauce with my mom!

We are using fresh Sardines, but you can use Anchovies or Mackerels too! Support your local fishermens! These came from @michealshaw and Ryan with @luciabarracuda_com_fishing at the @vistafarmersmarket_92081

This is my first time making it with my mom's guidance.

Instead of using the whole fish, we are just using the heads and tails because mom wanted to eat the fish.

But you can use the whole fish!Mix your fish in some of the salt.

Then start layering salted fish and salt.

Weigh your fish and add 20-30% of the total fish weight in Salt.

For an example, we had:

21oz of fish
7oz of sea salt (additives-free)

Make sure to save enough salt to cover the fish. Salt should be the last layer

Seal it tight and store it somewhere warm.

Time it takes to ferment depends on temperature.

Keep you all posted!

Save this and follow our journey:)
