cured fish

Salt-treated ocean catch

Cured fish is fish preserved through salting, smoking, drying, or a combination of these methods.

The process draws out moisture and inhibits bacterial growth, extending shelf life while transforming flavor and texture.

Salmon, cod, herring, and anchovies are commonly cured.

Lox and gravlax are types of cured fish.

The category ranges from heavily salted dried cod (bacalao) to delicately cold-smoked salmon.
