Take capelin, wash it and place in a bowl or sudock, where will it salt.

Prepare the brine mixture of 1 Cup salt put half Cup of sugar, stir and mix with the fish. Leave for 1.5-2 hours. Salt is a simple stone, NOT iodized!!! If you have a small number of fish - brine mixture do is based on 2 parts salt, put one part sugar.

After 1.5 hours one of the fish, wash under water and taste for salt. If you think that salt is enough - wash the fish. IMPORTANT! Keep in mind that when dried fish will give extra moisture and taste will be slightly saltier then. I have enough half an hour. The fish of the sea and tender pickles quickly. One more thing - when the fish is washed with water from the salt, try that with a jet of water directly on the fish did not fall - the capelin is very gentle and direct stream of water can easily "tear" abdomens. I hand push the fish to one side of the bowl and the water runs between the hand and bowl, not directly affecting the fish. So, the fish washed from the salt, slightly wet cloth. Put it on a Board and using a brush, grease it with vegetable oil. On top sprinkle crushed red pepper (preferably from a grinder or chop with a knife so that the pepper was tiny pieces ( not dust). You can use other spices - I tried it with herbes de Provence - I loved it. And with chopped cilantro.

The fish you can sprinkle spices on the one hand, and on the other. The amount of spices (pepper) define yourself based on your taste preferences. Keep in mind that drying a small portion of the spices will fall off. So, take the fish and go outside ( on the balcony). Of course, it's convenient to pin the fish with flattened ( S ) of paperclips. At the last moment it turned out that I have ended and I hung the fish on the clamps. You can take wire and strung the fish (through the head). Leave to dry. Preferably partial shade. If there are flies - cover with gauze.

I made and hung the fish in the morning. In the evening my husband with a neighbor, walked in circles around her and "pulled off" one - to beer. At this stage she is still so a little bit to the potatoes (and especially to the young..) - most... In the end, "they slapped hands" to at least a dozen left for me. PS In the photo below you can see how significantly "thinned" the ranks of fish by men.

The next day at lunch, the fish is simply delicious - it podelilas, but not dry, with her flowing fat. You can leave it and continue to hanging - it will just get drier and thicker. By the way, of course, the most delicious is obtained from large specimens. Dried, oily, delicious fish - and the price is also not unimportant are very affordable. And as to beer - just mind-blowing delicious!
