Ok i have always preferred salted anchovies and sardines over unsalted I've noticed the quality in the shops just doesn't seem as good as they used to be so i took some fresh sardines just caught and I layered them in course kosher salt for 48 hours then packaged in zip lock baggies they look pretty good will try this week Has anyone else salted them this way would like to know and if your had success with them catching fish that is Thanks Brock
