>in plastic bottle
oh boy

>>20190038
Welp my recipe said herring. Maybe I will try sardines next time
>kill yourself immediately
Right now or after switching the fish? Your instructions are not clear anon.
>>20190043
>in plastic bottle
>oh boy
Tell me, is it bad? How bad?

>>20190031
This dumbass gone kill his dumb ass self.
Do NOT fuck with fermenting fish if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Start with something easy like Kimchi first.

>>20190080
Too late, I'm eating now. It's actually delicious, very salty but on point.

I report back in a few hours, if not... welp.

plastic is generally fine for fermenting
the downside is it absorbs yeasts, flavors, etc so it's hard to fully clean for different kinds of batches
if you're doing different batches you want glass or metal
but for doing the same kind over and over again then plastic is cheap and werks

>>20190848
Thanks, I ate a few hours ago and it was fine. The smell is pretty weak, a mix of mineral water, fish and a little bit of plastic. I don't pretend to reuse the bottles if I make more, but I gonna try glass or metal next time.

>>20191020
>little bit of plastic
What what what?

>>20190031
Make some hákarl next and post pictures next time.

>>20191034
There is a plastic smell, can't describe any other way. It's faint, there is nothing of sort in the taste of the water or the fish.
>>20191046
I will post some pics tomorrow if the post is alive

>>20190031
OP you may have unironically fucked yourself. You need the fermentation to increase the acidity and keep the botch away. It should have had a pretty strong odor... Godspeed anon

>>20191228
So no stink = death? We should only eat the stinkiest fermented fish?

>>20191228
Yeah, I found the lack of apparent fermentation strange. How do I start the process?

>>20191229
if it doesnt ferment properly its just two months old fish, retard

>>20191367
you start over. everything you've done up to this point is waste. there's no way of knowing what kind of bacteria is growing in it

>>20191418
But doesn't taste like old fish, there is a foul smell it's just weak. I was expecting THE MOST SMELLY FISH IN THE WORLD.
>>20191423
Right, but what do I do different this time?

>>20191515
if you are telling the truth and you ate the fish, you seriously need to go to a doctor

>>20191650
That and at least take your phone and take a picture of what you are describing.

>>20191650
I ate 4 random birds that flew into my window last year. One was a pigeon, but the other 3 were like cardinals or finches or something.
Anyways, they all smelled strongly of ammonia and I just skinned and gutted them then boiled them in (no joke) King Cobra malt liquor and hot sauce. I had bad green diarrhea afterwards each time except for one of them which made me shit my pants only an hour after eating it then I threw up.
Do I have intestinal parasites or something now? What would the symptoms be? How should I know if I need to see a doctor or something? I feel fine and I haven't had any serious health problems since some kidney stones in January last year.

>>20191668
>I ate 4 random birds that flew into my window last year
nani the fuck

>>20191668
honestly doesn't seem that random - they were all related by the condition of flying through your window last year
well, unless there are more and you arbitrarily only eat SOME of the ones that fly in
have you considered getting a screen guard?

>>20191668
how long were they dead for? surely they didn't all happen on the same day either...

>>20191724
They were all fresh, I cooked them within a half hour of catching them each time. It was over several months last autumn when I had no source of protein or meat other than what I could catch which also included a few neighborhood rabbits.

>>20191736
why did you continue to eat them after that happening each time? and have you considered visiting a grocery store?

>>20191752
>and have you considered visiting a grocery store?
Not them but that sounds like giving up
Giving up on what I don't know

>>20191752
>patronizing the food jew

>>20191752
Well because after a few days of no meat you are willing to take chances again. Also the logic was "just because it happened 3 times before, maybe this time is different".

>>20190031
Dip it in this helluva good sauce, good times were had by all... it's also good with fried foods, like fried clams.

>>20191753

>>20191418
How am I supposed to know how to make stinkfish?

>>20191656
>That and at least take your phone and take a picture
My phone has a shitty camera so was going to ask for my brother to take some pics for me, but since he's not around I took some. They are not that bad.

See, the pics are just the fish, I ate this with onions and bread.
>>20191724
Fresh, there is a market near my home that sells catch of the day.

>>20191668
>I ate 4 random birds that flew into my window last year.
Nigga wtf.

>>20191650
Probably not. Humans aren't as fragile as they make us seem

>>20192153
And this is how the bottle looks. The water was stirred so you can barely see, I waited about 20 minutes but still looks muddy, it was much more clear before I moved.

>>20191736
>They were all fresh, I cooked them within a half hour of catching them each time
Jesus. There was this guy on /out/ or maybe /k/ that catches pidgeons with a very clever trap, I have a webm somewhere. He told us he waited 1 week to 2 weeks before eating them, he gave them some detox food and other shit before barbecuing them.

>>20191650
>if you are telling the truth and you ate the fish, you seriously need to go to a doctor
It's been 12 hours and I feel fine. It tastes and smells like fresh fish, not market fish but cooked. The taste is pretty good. I ate half of one with potatoes, bread and onions, I feel fine.

Still looking for the pidgeon trap webm.

why are you like this?

>>20192173
>Why do all those unhinged autistic people in my rotten fish eating mmorpg act like unhinged autistic people?
Don't know, it's a mystery.

Here's the pigeon trap, anon didn't made that video but said that was his inspiration so he used the same contraption.

Also I noticed a lot of typos in my posts. Maybe this shit is affecting me after all.

>>20190031
People who eat this kind of shit are gross. Just letting you know if you didn't realize why people avoid you.

>>20192718
People avoid me because of my high IQ

>>20192792
>not smart enough to finish his sentence
Doubt.

>>20192171
botulism takes anywhere for 18-36 hours to show symptoms. there's also a host of other food-related illnesses that can take upwards of 72 hours. you dun goofed op

>>20193708
24 hours now, I'm fine. Send positive energy.
>>20192718
They don't know I eat the fish. They think I'm normal, they talk to me without realising I'm the rotten fish eater.

Also a couple of years ago my neighbor killed some animal and tried to cure the meat in the sun by simple laying on his roof. The smell was insane, I think it was rot already. It atracted all kind of shit, even vultures, I never saw vultures around here before or after.

>>20192718
idk I think it's kinda cool actually. I would wanna be friends with the guy who ferments fish at his house

>>20193954
Thanks

>>20191668
You can have parasites without any symptoms. Or symptoms can even appear much later on. If you feel sick go to a doctor and they'll probably have you give a stool sample.

Welp, that's it, my last post. This began as a curiosity but in the end I really liked, don't know what went wrong with the fermentation proccess but I'm gonna try the 24hour open bottle next time, probably use a metal or glass container too.

Hope everyone is ok, specially pigeon bro. Also hope I don't die from botulism or some flesh eating bacteria in the next few days. Cheers.

>>20197025
Looks good, anon, I'm sure you'll be okay.

>surströmming in a plastic bottle

>>20197025
Don't cook your fish beforehand, it's supposed to be raw and softened up by the fermentation.

The juices should largely come from the salting, 5% salt by fish weight, not 5% brine.
