Step 2
My fish is already gutted and without a head. If you have it whole, then first gut it and cut off the head. Be sure to remove the black film from the belly — it may taste bitter. Then clean the fish from scales, rinse well under running water, dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Add salt and let it sit for a while so that the fish is well salted.
