Brining and Marinate

Tom or Mary said:

f I brine a piece of meat, and then want to marinate it do I do it
separately or does marinating accomplish the same thing as brining. Does
anyone brine fish? I have a list of times for brining, but there is not
any
for fish.

Thanks

Tom

Brine large chunks of meat, marinate small ones. Never do both to the same
piece of meat. I'd never brine or marinate a T-Bone or a sirloin. Brined
birds
are different from unbrined birds, but not necessarily better. Corned beef
is brined, not marinated. Fajitas are marinated, not brined.

It sounds like you might be trying to experiment without first mastering the
basics. Bad move. Not to worry. It's human nature to try rushing straight to
the end without mastering the steps along the way. Unfortunately, you
cannot reach the end without mastering the supporting steps.

Prolly more fish brined than all other brining combined... kind oF A
natural leap, considering all theceans are brine.... aintcha ever hoid
of pickled herring. Yoose lucky I can't tolerate much salt anymore,
right now I'd kill for a plateful of matjes herring. Yoose can keep
yer fercoctah anchovies... a REAL caesar salad is with matjes, lots of
it, big chunks. I don't believe someone got famous for anchovy with
romaine.
