Prepare the Malted Barley Powder liquid by mixing Malted Barley Powder with 500 grams of warm water. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Allow the liquid to settle for another 10 minutes, then carefully pour off the clear liquid, leaving any sediment behind.

In a large bowl, combine the shredded Dried Pollock with 20 grams of Fine Sea Salt. Mix well and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
