How to prepare this (Chinese) snack? I've bought a bag of small dried and salted fish at my local Chinese market. My guess was that the thingies could be eaten right out of the box, but they are too bony and salty.  

I guess they need some kind of desalting and perhaps frying, but not sure what to try.  

From the back of the bag drawings and text (thanks Google Translate!) I managed to infer that it's really a snack (ideal beer companion!) 

Any ideas on how to prepare/serve them?
Based on my russian experience, this is ready to go snack. Just bite it and drink beer. 
I know, my american friends usually scared to try "uncooked" fish, but salty dried fish is good. Also I would recommend you to try salty dried calamari or octopuses. 

Cheers!
