Answer 2

Dried fish is basically dried naturally by sun and wind on wooden racks or flat mat. A temperature just above zero degrees celsius, with little rain, is ideal. The cold climate protects the fish from insects and prevents bacterial growth but too much frost will spoil the fish, as ice destroys the fibers in the fish. The fish is prepared immediately after capture. After gutting the fish, it is either dried whole, or split along the spine leaving the tail connected. The fish dried by sun and wind for approximately three months and then matured for 2-3 months indoors in a dry and airy environment. This drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years. The method is also cheap, the work can be done by the fisherman, and the resulting product is easily transported to its market. Cod is the most common fish used in the proccess, also pollock, haddock, cusk and ling.
