Salted fish can be commonly found in many shops that sell preserved seafood & herbs.
Salted fish is mainly consumed by the Southern Chinese and is a very common dish among the elderly in Hong Kong. The younger generations are not so keen on this as there are many cases of cancer (Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma - cancer of nose & throat) that are closely related to consumption of salted fish.
Salted fish is commonly found in the fried rice in Hong Kong. It is added to give an extra boost of fragrance to the ordinary plain fried rice. This dish can be ordered in many local coffee houses during lunch hour.
My advice is to try once or twice… but don’t get addicted as it is bad for your health.
