Nah, just salt them. Put them in lots of coarse sea salt, wait about 2 hours until it absorbs some of it and before grilling just remove the salt by shaking them or under running water. Grill!
Your cat will love it. 😛

There's another market almost as near, but it's more like a supermarket where the other was much like a converted shack. I miss them.

Originally posted by PhlabibitYeah, but they don't have sardines in the iced fish section. Yours does? I find that hard to believe....

Originally posted by PhlabibitDead dripping fish on ice in a shack? I can't imagine why such a place would have closed down. It sounds charming.

Originally posted by ChessPraxisPerhaps I didn't explain the 'ambiance' well enough. It was fresh fish every day, it was the melting ice that drips. No, it wasn't The Taj Mahal, but it also wasn't some hill-billy run-down dusty old shanty either.

Originally posted by Phlabibitthe best fish markets in the world are run by hill-billies in dusty old shanty towns by the port. when you get into a foreign country and want the best fish in the town, that's where you always head for.

Originally posted by PhlabibitThanks for clearing that up. I pictured some old fisherman in a tin shed selling fish next to his old paint cans. 😀
