I'm American Chinese and growing up I grew accustomed to eating salted fish because my family was poor and as immigrants, they missed the taste of their hometown. I didn't realize it's an acquired taste until I brought some salted fish fried rice to school and you can imagine the reaction of my friends. Funny thing is that one of the same friend who was repulsed by the smell when she was a child ended up being brave enough to dry it in Chinese dishes as an adult and fell in love with the flavor. Don't diss it until you try it I guess.
I am a Chinese Canadian and as a kid I was at first absolutely horrified by the taste of some salted fish and pork. I thought they were all disgusting but turned out its funky taste only came from poorly made products. Good ones actually add loads of flavour especially cooked with tofu.
I grew up in norther China yet I’ve never had it. Tried it the first time after moving to the US and immediately loved it. It elevates simple fried rice to another level!
As a 50-something Chinese American I used to be teased by the white kids for 'exotic' Chinese foods I ate at home (like hamm yue chow fan). I still eat these foods and as a result have retained six pack abs while my friends who grew up on a western diet are mostly obese or morbidly obese. Maybe they shoulda eaten more strange and exotic foods haha.
You must have had to contact a lot of people to get someone to show process of making salt fish. Usually these places are run by cranky old timers won't agree to interviews. Good job.

I would like to thank this man for his generosity in sharing his knowledge. As an aspiring carnivore for health reasons, I try to look for ways to preserve and keep food for longer. I also look for anyway to prepare animal products for taste, nutrition and diversity. This man shared so much and I hope the Creator bestows good things for him, his loved one as well as the customers that keep him and his family financially comfortable.
Not too many foreigner eat Cantonese style salted fish. I recalled introducing it to my high school buddies. Initially, the revoked. Now, they enjoy it, especially when one add salted fish with minced meat on the bottom steamed and served with steamed rice. I do not know if salted fish is eaten anywhere around China, but it is popular in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and area around southern part of Asia.
It's really quiet... The airport is along the coast but just far enough off and curved around a bend that the fishing village feels like a whole different world.
We bought so many of the seafood chilli oil when we visited approx five years ago. They were so delicious just with plain white rice and much better than higher priced stuff in the supermarkets. Highly recommend a visit and purchase here.
Ah.. salted fish. I could eat two plates of rice wetted with vegetable soup and either a piece of salted fish or squid. Really helps me to eat if i don't have an appetite.
It is similar to anchovis where I put a few of them in pasta and let it melt. Although the Cantonese salted fish has more pronounced flavor and you need less to mix into a dish. I personally prefer the dry variant.
I asked God what should I watch in my head earlier today! 🐁 God showed me this channel just ~1 hour ago and I have been watching your videos! 🐓 I found your channel through South China Post or something like that 🐖 Rescue all animals 🐖 🦆 🐭 🐁
I love this kind of a salted fish in my place this call ikan masin imbuk imbuk.very nice with poridge or over hot rice with some tomato salsa.wonderful.
Salted fish and chicken fried rice is absolutely divine.., food of the gods. its hard to find authentic salted fish in nz, so i use small dried salted anchovies -close but not the same as the Chinese bigger fish,
In Kuantan town of Malaysia, the fish that is used for salted fish is the red snapper. The taste is much nicer than the fourfinger threadfin or even seabream.
I respect the way they cover the fishes faces to protect their anonymity . even in death
Underrated comment. Have a (You)

I love it! the holy trinity is with teh lacquered pork, chinese sausage, and the salted fish all on top of rice!
"Don't diss it until you try it" is pretty much the motto of this channel 😆

Salted fish with porridge. 😋😋😋... The old ways are disappearing fast 😭😭😭
Deep fried salted fish + hot steamed rice + boiled water spinach (kangkung) + Sambal terasi (belacan) = PERFECT
Cambodia does different marinate fish. We clean it up and used salt and sugar
Yummm
Personally i feel the varieties of salted fish and fish sauce from Southeast asia taste better. Probably because it is a centuries old heritage.
@@danialroslan1531 Tradition doesn't make it taste better
culture!
Halo tuan tuan kami dari indonesia inggin menawar kan berbagaimacam ikan kering jika tuan tuan dan nyonya berminat bisa menghubunggi kami❤
Beef ,chicken, lamb chops are so much better than anything from the sea
Nope
You have to careful about eating salted fish as it's a known carcinogenic. Eating it in moderation is the best practice.
Salted fish is usually only made with sodium chloride. That's ok.
It's the salted meats that are dangerous, because they use nitrates etc
this is a LOT of chinese videos lately. What is this propaganda by youtube?

That's the secret?!?!? So, joe fishman down the street uses fresh fish but his don't smell nice? LOL... FRESH FISH.... who uses SPOILED fish ??
Less reputable producers will buy spoiled fish or fish which is about to spoil from fisherman who want get rid of it and therefore sell it cheaply.
This stuff is awesome in fried rice or a clay pot stew. Stupendous.
I can smell it now

Cantonese style salted fish is link to nasopharyngeal cancer.
Salted fish + anything = happy tummy.
Most of the fish they use are from South America and Southeast Asia. How many fishing boats are there in the Tai O region?
3:41, wait Tai O is basically behind Hong Kong's International Airport? How noisy is it there? It looks like a quiet fishing village.
It's really quiet... The airport is along the coast but just far enough off and curved around a bend that the fishing village feels like a whole different world.
Salty fish with steam pork I could eat 3 bowls of rice.

I like both 實肉 and 梅/霉(？)香鹹魚, but in my opinion 梅香鹹魚 paired with fragrant rice is da bomb!
0:30 Cantonese people eating salted fish is like westerners eating cheese.
so basically salted fish is Cantonese blue cheese
That's a great analogy!
