How to Make Brine

Brining is a food processing method that uses brine or coarse salt to preserve and season the food while enhancing tenderness and flavor.

Brine salinity level starts at about 5% but higher values are more widely used to ensure long-term preservation. In Fisheries 20% of salt is used in the brine to draw the moisture out of the fish. This process is called heavy salting and requires rinsing the fish in water or milk to get rid of the strong saline taste. Lower level of salt can be used which allows immediate consumption but reduces the products shelf life.
