Can you cure fish without salt?

Asked: Nathan Hammond, Last Updated:

Registered. Meat (fish in this case) is stabilized (cooked) by heat or salt or sugar or some combination of all three. The stabilization occurs through collapse of protein molecules into forms that are not as easily metabolized (rotted) by bacteria. So yes, you can smoke your fish without curing it.
