Corned beef is marinated too. However soaking meat in plain salted
watrer is also marinating... it's just that usually one wants to add
flavors at the same time. Brining is a form of food presevation is
all. Some stupidmarket meats are injected with brine only to extend
shelf life is all.

Hehe, I bet you enjoy brining eel.
