I was speaking to some people in a fermented food group on faceache...
There is this chef there doing his own meat and sausage stuff.

He strongly adviced me not to use homemade culture but pointed me towards commercial bacteria cultures. with the homemades it is hard to get consistent results and also you risk food poisoning like salmonella and botulin. In particular when fermenting liver and fish.
This one should be perfect:

Recipe from the chef:

  1. Mince fresh Mackerel thoroughly.
  2. Add:
    • 8–10% salt
    • 3–8% molasses or glucose
  3. Acidify immediately:
    • lactic acid alone, or
    • lactic + small amount citric acid
      until pH reaches ~4.0–4.2.
  4. Add Flora Italia LC at recommended dosage.
  5. Ferment in food-grade bucket/container at ~20–30 °C.
  6. Stir daily with clean utensil.
  7. When liquefied and sour-stable (typically 1–3 weeks), store cool/refrigerated.
     

Can store for a year in the fridge. 
Warning. If it later develops:

  • swelling pressure,
  • mold,
  • strong fecal/sewage odor,
  • sharp sulfur gas,
  • or pH rise,

discard it.
