I just went out to the fridge and sampled a jar of my pickled Northern. It takes a week in the fridge there is no cooking. Man its good. I can post the recipe I used if anyone wants it. It works with any kind of fish.

I am always up for any kind of new recipe.

James, would like to know your recipe!
I pickle King Mackrel in Large glass jars
using white vinerger.I cut it in rounds.The King Mackrel
ony has a star bone in the middle.We cut it like Salmon steaks.
We use garlic, oinons, green peppers and bayleafs.
Never use metal utensils in jars to remove fish.
I let it pickle for 45 days.

I will get it posted today. Right now I can't find where my wife put it. She is still sleeping so I better not wake her now

Cut the fillet into bite size pieces or about 1 1/2 inch chunks. Soak in the starting brine which is just pickling salt and water at the mix of one cup per guart of water. The reciepe says soak in the fridge for exactly two days.

Drain the fish but do not rinse. place it in the second brine which is just white viniger for 24 hours.

remove fish but don't rinse. The final brine is four cups of white viniger, 3 cups of sugar, heat this enough to disolve the sugar. Let it cool. add one cup white cooking wine. One fourth cup of picling spice. Let cool completly and put it on the fish. Add Onions and or peppers as you wish. Or just fish. Place in the fridge for one week before eating. Five days minimum. They will keep for several months in the fridge. This is an easy one and boy is it good. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting that James- sounds like a intresting one.



Have soaked fish in lime juice(a few other things) eating them without cooking.

I am on my second jar already. Never tasted a better pickeled fisk.

JB ; if it is pickled,how long will it keep.

we do a salt mackrel,and it will keep for years. me and my dad always took them with us camping or just on a fishing trip. man are they good.

according to the reciepe it will keep for several months in the fridge. Thats as long as it ever lasts around here.
