I use Windex to unfreeze salt-encrusted zippers.  It works most of the time.

Victor, praying for you.  Get well soon.

I checked Candlestick Park Area a couple of weeks ago.  The park was closed, so you cannot park inside to access the launching area.  There was a spot near the 1st pier (not a public fishing pier) that is closer to the water, but it is a rocky shore (bad for launching at low tide unless you have a super light kayak).  You have to squeeze in your kayak between parked cars and trailers, then lift it over a short wooden fence and a bunch of garbage to access it. 
The Jackrabbit beach area is also harder (long walk plus wooden fence and garbage) to access due to parking lot closure.  I think for me it is more trouble than it is worth to launch around there now unless of course if fishing becomes very hot there.

When I went to the store yesterday I was surprised to see none of the employees wearing masks or gloves.

Just like TP, masks and gloves are a hot commodity right now. I'm sure those grocery workers would wear them if they could get their hands on them, but supplies of those items are being diverted to hospitals. Even veterinary hospitals are being asked to send their remaining supply to medical hospitals.

I have quite a few friends who work for Safeway in California and another big grocery store in Florida.  They told me that they tried to use their own gloves and masks at work, but they were told/warned by management not to do so. 

 Thank you guys for contributing your knowledge and experience of fish sauce making.  I now have much more confidence to give it a try (if I can catch any herrings this year) knowing that I would not stink up or blow up my house with my new experiment! 

Does the sauce need to be refrigerated after bottled?  The fish sauce looks so good.
Thanks for sharing the recipes. 

Al

I am interested.
