Fish can be easily processed into various dishes, such as fried fish, fish soup, pepes, fish balls, stir-fried fish, and many more.

Eating fish is also believed to provide many health benefits. According to information from oehha.gov, fish is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and others. In addition to fresh fish , salted fish can also be an option when shopping. Salted fish is not only seasoned so it is more practical to cook, but also lasts longer when stored.
However, often salted fish sold in the market has an excessive salty taste, so it can reduce the enjoyment of cooking. Therefore, many people try to reduce the salt content before cooking the salted fish. Generally, the method used is to soak the salted fish in salt water or lime to reduce the salty taste.
In addition, there is another way that is no less effective to remove the excess saltiness of salted fish. One of these methods was shared by a netizen known as Mama Saaya. She stated that this method only requires one simple tool that everyone must have at home. So, how do you do it?
First, prepare a bowl to put the salted fish in later. Then, also prepare a piece of paper. Well, this paper is the main actor to remove excess salt from the salted fish. Make sure the paper is clean and there is no ink or scribbles on it. Then, tear the paper so that it fits into the bowl.
"Clean paper, yes. If not, you can use kitchen tissue," added a netizen on the YouTube account Dapur Mama SaaYa, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (12/9).

Put some of the torn paper into a bowl, then put the salted fish in. Then, cover the salted fish again with the remaining pieces of paper. Finally, pour water until all the salted fish and paper are completely submerged. Soak the salted fish with the paper for 10 to 15 minutes. It turns out that the paper will help absorb excess salt that sticks to the salted fish.
After soaking for a few minutes, rinse and drain the salted fish. Then, dry the salted fish before cooking it into each mainstay menu. Guaranteed, this salted fish tastes lighter because the salty taste has been successfully absorbed by the paper.
