A simple trick will help improve a dry product - you won’t have to throw it away or force yourself to finish it.

It is difficult to find a person who would like "oak" dried fish. If such a product appears on the table, then it is too early to despair.

There are several ways to restore fish's juiciness, taste and pleasant consistency. The methods are similar in essence, but have different effectiveness.

To improve dried fish, you need to take a cotton cloth and wet it in water. Wrap the product in it. Do it so that even the tail and head do not stick out. In this form, it needs to be kept for at least 4 hours.

The effectiveness of the method will increase if the fish, wrapped in cloth, is placed in a bag and left in the refrigerator overnight.

A more radical and reliable method is a steamer or a water bath. Cut the fish into pieces and place them in a bowl. Then you need to start the steamer or put it on the stove so that the steam affects the fish. Just an hour, and you can forget about the "oak" product. It will be replaced by juicy and tasty dried fish.
