Appearance
The name "Iwashi" was given to the fish by the Japanese. In the language of the Land of the Rising Sun, “ma-iwasi” is translated as “sardine.”
Iwashi has a narrow body. The dorsal fin has from 17 to 21 soft rays. At the base of the caudal fin you can see wing-shaped scales, which are a characteristic feature of all herrings.
The back of the iwasi, the photo of which is presented here, is colored greenish-olive, the sides are silvery-white. The end of the snout, as well as the back of the caudal fin, are black. The fish has numerous dark spots on the sides of its body, and light spots underneath them. The maximum lifespan of fish is 8 years. Now you know what iwashi is.

Useful properties of herring
The Far Eastern sardine Iwashi is very beneficial for the human body due to its high content of beneficial microelements, but there is a group of people who should not overuse dishes made from this herring. These are patients with gastritis, stomach ulcers, liver and kidney diseases. There are no restrictions for others. Advantages of fish:
- This is a fatty type of sardine. But you shouldn't take this negatively. Fish oil is very beneficial for humans; it contains many polyunsaturated acids: omega 3 and omega 6, which allow the body to function fully and prevent the development of cancer.
- Calcium in fish strengthens bones, nails, and hair.
- Antioxidants will help maintain youth.
- Regular consumption of this type of sardine reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
- It is recommended to add fish to the menu for pregnant women and mothers. Fish oil promotes milk formation and reduces the risk of postpartum depression. For the unborn child, this is the key to good development of the nervous system, coordination of movements, and vision.
- Nicotinic acid improves the functioning of the nervous system.
- Fish oil boosts the immune system. Doctors advise drinking it during infectious diseases.

Proper storage conditions
It is important not only to properly salt, but also to properly store the finished product. Shelf life depends on the degree and method of salting, as well as temperature conditions.
It is recommended to store wet salted fish only in brine for no longer than a month at 6-8 degrees. The brine will protect the product from oxidation and chapping. But the longer the fish is in an aggressive salty environment, the worse the taste of the product will become. Without brine, fish can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days.
Dried salted fish – taranka – can be stored for the longest time. It is wrapped in thick paper (not newspaper) and placed in a cool, dry place.

How to cook fresh herring
If you suddenly decide to buy fresh... You can, firstly, salt it. You can make spicy salted herring, put cloves, pepper, and various spices in it. Soviet recipes have been preserved - there is no difficulty in this.
They also fry herring. The Japanese and all Asians in general love to fry herring and sardines. But keep in mind that when frying, herring gives off a specific smell that not everyone likes. In general, this is typical for many types of fish; for example, when frying flounder, this smell also appears.

How to do
Defrost freshly frozen fish gradually at room temperature or on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Afterwards, we rinse and place the whole thing, without gutting, into a spacious container or container.
Prepare the brine. But first we determine the amount of brine needed. To do this, fill the fish in the container with water so that it completely covers the carcasses. And then we drain it and use this water to prepare the brine. Add salt, sugar and chopped spices to the water.
Pour the brine into a saucepan, put it on the stove, bring to a boil and boil for 3 minutes from the moment it boils. Then cool the brine and only pour the well-cooled brine into the herring in the container.
To prevent the fish from floating to the top, we press it down with a cutting board (pressure), and then close it with a lid. Leave the container in a cool place for 3 days. After just 2 days you can try the herring; it will turn out lightly salted.
