This is a story of a preserved fish called Mr. Salted Fish who lives at a seafood restaurant on an island and makes a living by working multiple part-time jobs. Due to his unique way of dealing with things, he frequently finds himself in a survival crisis. That's why he takes up a lot of different jobs on the island. In this way, Mr. Salted Fish gets to know the islanders, who are strange at first. But once he learns about their stories, they become friends, and even family. As the annual Fish God Festival approaches, hilarious incidents around Mr. Salted Fish also begin.

Where it came from
Salted Fish emerged from the vibrant ecosystem of bilibili, the prominent Chinese video sharing platform known for its focus on animation, comics, and games. Produced in-house to resonate with the platform's young, digitally native audience, the title leans into the popular slang term 'salted fish,' which describes a person who lacks ambition or chooses a life of leisure, reflecting a broader cultural fatigue and the rise of 'lying flat' sentiments among contemporary youth.
The creative direction focuses on stylized, minimalist aesthetics that prioritize relatable humor and situational irony over complex world-building. By utilizing a quick-paced, episodic format characteristic of web-based short-form animation, the studio aimed to capture the attention of busy viewers seeking brief moments of levity. It has been received as a modest, self-aware piece of digital media that functions as a commentary on the relatable mundanity of modern living.
