I just tried this recipe I found on IS, Pickled Pickerel
2 tsp Pickling spice
2 ½ tbs kosher salt
¼ cup sugar
1 onion
white vinegar
Cut fillets in to small strips
Fill 1quart jar ¾’s w/fish
Add, salt, sugar, pickling spice and sliced onion
Fill jar with white vinegar / shake until all dry ingredients dissolve
Refrigerate 5 days [give it a shake the 3rd day]
You may eat it right out of the jar or mix it with a little sour cream and eat on a cracker
[Yes the vinegar cooks the fish and with the help of the salt dissolves the bones]
first time experience with pickled fish. I liked it, but thought it was a little too salty. Anyone else tried it with a little less salt? Don't see how it would hurt, as long as your keeping it refrigerated and don't keep it too long.
