Torngats 28 - Char Drying for Pitsik

A Delicious Treat and an Efficient Method of Food Preparation  

A Whole Char is Filleted, Split to the Tail and Sliced into Bitesized Portions...  

...then hung in the sunshine and air-dried, for a tasty treat.   

Pitsik, dried fish, is a traditional food of the Inuit. Participants in the kANGIDLUASUk Student Program made a screened drying box for their pitsik and then they caught the char to put in it. Pitsik is a wholesome and nutritious snack -  or a meal in itself!
