Major changes in sodium content of fillets of cod, blackback flounder, and ocean perch resulted from varying concentration of brine solution (5, 10, or 15%), duration of dip (30, 60 or 90 sec), fillet thickness, season of catch, and rinsing or skinning fillets before cooking. Postmortem age (1‐5 days) of fish, temperature of brine solution (6, 12, or 20°C), and cooking had minor effects on final sodium concentration.
