The anchovies caught are carefully selected, leaving out those that are too big or too small or not fresh. Fish are brought into salt without rinsing because before being brought ashore, the fish has been washed with sea water, mixed with fresh salt (unprocessed granular salt) for a long time for the fish to hydrolyze and crumble into an aqueous solution. filtered to get the pure water without fishy smell but characteristic of fish sauce.
