How to Dehydrate Fish (Perch) | Tutorial to Improve Fish Shelf Life

Wash the perch in cold water to clean them.

Use sharp scissors to cut off the fins and gills of the perch.

Pat the perch dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Prepare a bowl and dry it thoroughly.

Sprinkle a base layer of sea salt in the bottom of the bowl.

Place 3-4 perch in the bowl on top of the salt layer.

Add another layer of sea salt on top of the perch, adjusting the amount based on taste preference.

Cover the perch with more salt, ensuring they are well coated.

Store the bowl in the fridge for 24 hours to marinate the perch in salt.

Check the perch after 24 hours; they should make a cracking sound when pulled apart.
