My seaboots stink, how can I cure them?

Soak for 3 days in brine (1 lb salt to 1 gallon water), hang in larder for about 1 week to dry. Repeat process. The cured boots may now be kept pretty indefinintely, and slices may be taken off as and when required. Over-curing will tend to make the finished boots not only too salty, but will become decidedly chewy.
