Ciss'uq (pit-fermented herring or capelin)ciss'uq (Yup'ik)
Ciss'uq is Yup'ik herring or capelin fermented by burying the fish underground, recorded as about two weeks in the ground. No salt is described. At Buckland, Iñupiaq makers also ferment herring in grass-lined holes under soil.
A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Ciss'uq itself.

Ciss'uq is Yup'ik herring or capelin fermented by burying the fish underground, recorded as about two weeks in the ground. No salt is described. At Buckland, Iñupiaq makers also ferment herring in grass-lined holes under soil. Made in 3 steps over 14 days. The longest step, bury the fish in the ground, takes 14 days (English Wikipedia 2026).
Most foodborne botulism in Alaska is type E, which comes only from aquatic animals, and all cases have been linked to traditional Alaska Native foods, including fermented ones. Storing such foods in airtight plastic is a modern change thought to be partly behind the rise in cases (McLaughlin et al. 2004). A US Fish and Wildlife Service report says traditional foods made properly without plastic do not generally form the toxin (Jones 2006). That is not a guarantee. Alaska's botulism guide says traditional preparation will not always prevent toxin production. It says outbreak foods were aged in pits in the ground as well as in closed or airtight containers, and its 1950–2010 table lists herring as the implicated food in one outbreak, though no food from it tested positive. CDC advises boiling all home-fermented Alaska Native foods for 10 minutes before eating, with 1 more minute for each additional 1,000 feet of elevation. You cannot see, smell or taste the toxin, and even a small taste can be deadly.
