From salted sprat. Delicious sprats of spicy salting at home

Long gone are the days when only sprats and gobies were caught in our country, and only zucchini threw caviar - judging by the shelves of our then stores. Modern supermarkets have a huge selection various fish, and the once super-popular little fish is by no means a hit in fish sales today.

But, salted with your own hands, it can become a real sensation of a picnic arranged with friends - provided that you know exactly how to salt a sprat.

Choosing a salting method

There are only 2 ways in which you can salt sprats at home: dry method or in brine. The salting method should be chosen depending on how long you are going to store the salted fish. If the fish after a day or two will be served on the table, then we salt it with a dry method. If you need to keep it longer, then it is better to salt the sprat in brine.

When salting, keep in mind that the longer the fish is in the brine, the saltier it becomes.

Therefore, be sure to adjust the amount of salt according to the time the fish is stored: the longer it is stored, the less seasoning you need to put in the brine.

In addition to salt, to give the fish a special, spicy taste, you can use some spices and seasonings:

  • mustard (can be both in grains and powder);
  • coriander;
  • powdered red pepper;
  • black pepper;
  • white pepper;
  • allspice (both in grains and powder);
  • Bay leaf;
  • carnation;
  • Dill seeds.

What is good about salting sprat is the opportunity to experiment, combining the amount of different seasonings and spices to your liking. As a result, the taste of salted fish always turns out to be different, unique.

If instead of sprats you are offered sprats or sprats for salting, feel free to take them. Sprats and sprats are two subspecies of sprat, so you can salt them according to one recipe.

Even if you use one recipe, the taste of fish salted according to it fresh and frozen, and then thawed, will be different - fresh salted sprat is much tastier.

Designed for long-term storage sprat must not be washed before salting: washed sprat is not stored for a long time. You need to wash such a fish immediately before eating.

If you salt a large sprat, then it is better to salt the fillet, having previously removed the insides. From small and medium fish, when salting, the insides can not be removed - get rid of them immediately before serving.

For salting sprats, rock salt of medium fraction is used. fine salt will not salt the insides of the fish, and when using large fish it is easy to oversalt.

To sprat for a long time remained tight, did not “spread out”, you need to add a little sugar to the brine, even if it is not mentioned in the salting recipe.

For salting sprats (and any fish) it is better not to use a plastic container: salt can “corrode” it, and then instead of the taste of fish you will “enjoy” the taste of plastic.

If you have to salt a frozen sprat, then you need to defrost it when room temperature otherwise, salted fish will not be stored for a long time. But, if you are waiting for guests and want to please them with lightly salted fish, then dip the frozen sprat for a minute in freshly boiled boiling water, after adding a few drops of vinegar to it, and then salt it. Two hours after salting, such a fish can already be served at the table.

Dry method of salting sprat

Measure 2.5-3 tbsp. tablespoons of salt, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to them, mix thoroughly and pour into a large plate or other container, the size of which allows you to add 1 kg of sprat to the mixture. If desired, ground pepper can be added to the mixture or mustard powder- quarter to half a teaspoon. Pour the fish into this container, mix it thoroughly so that the mixture gets on each fish as evenly as possible, and put in cool place.

Cover the freshly salted sprat with a lid or a flat plate on top and press down with oppression. You can do without oppression, but in this case you will have to stir the sprat every hour for the first 3-4 hours so that it salts evenly. In 12 hours you will be ready salted sprat, which can be served at the table, and a day later - already completely salty.

Salting sprats in brine

Salting fish in brine can also be quick and easy if you know how to do it right. First, the same mixture is prepared as in the dry method, but it does not pour into a container, but dissolves in hot water. Bring the resulting brine to a boil and immediately remove from heat.

Cool it, fill it with a fish, crushing it from above with oppression. Let it brew for 2-3 hours, then taste the brine. If it seems to you that it turned out to be not salty enough, add salt to it and send the fish to a cool place to infuse and wait for your finest hour.

  • 1 tsp Sahara.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly so that the salt and sugar are evenly distributed. Pour into prepared dishes, cover with a lid (you can use a plate) and put the load. We send it to the refrigerator. If the sprat will be salted without oppression, it must be stirred periodically. After 12 hours, the fish can be served at the table.

If you are going to salt a large number of sprats, then you need to put it in a bowl in layers, alternating with salt, and cover with oppression on top. After 12-15 hours, we will get a lightly salted fish, and a day later, salted.

To salt the fish in brine, we take the ingredients similar to those for dry salting (sprat, salt and sugar). The only difference is that you need to prepare the brine.

  • bay leaf - 4-5 leaves;
  • sugar - 1 tsp;

At the bottom of the dishes (preferably enameled or wooden), we pour a little spices, then lay out a layer of fish. Alternate until the ingredients run out. We cover, put oppression and send it to a cold place.

If you need to pickle a small amount of fish, you can simply mix it thoroughly with spices, cover and press down with something heavy. After 12-15 hours, the sprat of spicy salting will be ready.

For the second recipe, in addition to salt and sugar, you need to take ground red pepper to taste and dill seeds (or white mustard). We gut the sprat and rub with spices. Then we cook, as in the first recipe.
