InBrine

Salt water, the plainest preparation there is. Brine preserves without adding fat or flavour of its own, so it keeps the fish clean and lets its natural character through, leaner and lighter than oil. It is common for shellfish, cockles, clams, and mussels packed in their own salted liquor, and for tuna where the brine is meant to be drained. Brightens with lemon, takes well to being dressed after the tin is opened.
