Fish
Processing is a way of preserving fish and at the same time improving their
quality. In the process, the properties of the fish change.
•
There
are many ways to process fish. Some methods such as salting and drying
have been used since the ancient times, long before modern technology was
introduced. Others involved the use of chemicals and electrical devices.
But whatever process is used, the fish to be processed should always be fresh.
•
Fresh fish cannot be kept for a long
time without refrigerating, so we have to process the fish for preservation.
Many fish traders are working at the beach. They buy the fish from fishermen,
then they process it to carry the fish to town for selling at the market.

Bulan,Sorsogon: Sun-Dried Fish
Dried
split fish or “bis-ang”
Commonly
known as "daing" (split form) is the fish that has been converted
from the fresh state to a much lower moisture level with the use of heat with
or without salt to maintain its acceptability over an extended period of time.
This two girl carefully lays out fish to dry under the sun at Zone-6 Bulan Sorsogon. The sundried fish is locally called “Daing”.
Drying
This method is also
known as natural dehydration. Like the salting method, it lowers the
water content of the fish to a point where microorganisms, bacteria, enzymes,
and yeasts cannot grow and multiply. The most popular fish preservation
method is solar drying. It is done in combination with salting.
Fish dried under the sun look and taste better.
Steps in
Drying:
1. Wash the “Daing”
thoroughly with clean and fresh water.
2. Split the fish into butterfly fillet and
remove the gills and internal organs. Wash fish again thoroughly.
3. Place the
fish in a strainer and drain.

5. Soak the fish in brine solution for one hour
6. Drain the salted fish. Arrange or lay fish in wire screen mesh. Do not place the fish on top of each other so that fish will dry evenly.
7. Rinse the fish thoroughly under running water to wash
off excess salt
off excess salt
8.Dry fish under the sun or direct sunlight for two to
three days.
9. After
drying, allow the dried fish to cool for at least 6
hours at room temperature.

"Most of my parents' friends and most of my parents' friends' children also have degrees. This doesn't mean that they've managed to find the kind of work they wanted. Not at all; they went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree. And thus the world was deprived of some excellent gardeners, bakers, antique dealers, sculptors, and writers."
