Making ancient Roman garum - a fermented fish sauce |
|
Ancient Romans made a fish sauce called garum, by packing whole fish in salt and leaving it to ferment in the sun. 2000 years later I am making garum in Melbourne, from sardines and mackerel.
Update - I have filtered some of this liquid to produce a small quantity of garum - watch this short clip here: https://youtu.be/YFDSN7iuIHM |
