Default Air Drying Fish in warm climates

Down in the Spanish Main, when we aren't raping and pillaging, we like our
cod dried and pickled. For a special treat, take a long leak on the dried
fish before eating. Then roll them in tung.

As you swallow; say AH AH ,,,, Arrh. This is Pirate speech for "this is
good dried, ****ed on , rolled in dung, fish".

If you see our ship "The Jolly Listerine" give us a holla. When we get done
raping and pillaging we will share some cod.

Hi All.

Years ago I worked on Japanese and Korean boats in the Bering Sea.
Most everyone had a personal "stash" of air dried cod, squid, and other
sea monsters hanging like wind chimes in out of the way corners. I was
a bit apprehensive to eat the stuff at first but a few sakes or soju
bolstered my courage. After a few months, chewing on a three week air
dried squid was actually pretty good. the problem is I never got to the
How - To details.

So here is the qustion: Anybody ever string a bunch of dead fish in
your rig while cruising? My concern is that the warmer weather might
encouage bad bacteria growth. Any ideas?
