1. The fish are thoroughly cleaned. If fresh, the fish entrails are left intact. If not, the entrails are removed.
2. The fish are soaked in a brine solution (1 part salt + 2 parts water) until the eyes of the fish become white. This takes approximately 30 minutes.
3. The fish are then arranged in a bigger basket used for cooking. Weights are put on top of the basket so the fish won’t float during cooking.
4. Bring the water to the boil. Put the fish in the pot and boil for 5 minutes. After every 100 kg, add 4 liters of water and 2 liters of salt to the brine cooking solution.
5. A smaller basket is used to hold 10 to12 pieces of fish for the smoking process.
6. The baskets loaded with fish go to the smoking area. The smoking vat is filled with burning charcoal from the stove boiler topped with sugar cane bagasse and sawdust to generate smoke. The baskets are then loaded into the smoking vat and covered with plywood.
7. After smoking for about 30 minutes, the smoked fish is sprayed with yellow food coloring, depending on the preference of the customers. If the customer does not like food coloring then this step is skipped.
8. The smoked fish is aired to cool before packing. Important: if the fish is packed while still hot, fungus will be produced.
