STORYLINE
Salted fish, such as kippered herring or dried and salted cod, is fish cured with dry salt and thus preserved for later eating. Drying or salting, either with dry salt or with brine, was the only widely available method of preserving fish until the 19th century.
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Muslim's holy fasting month of Ramadan when faithful abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activities from dawn to dusk.
