Got some fillets of Trout and Walleye out to thaw yesterday to make some pickled fish. Got them sliced and cut up for bite size pieces. Put the fish into the pickle soak today to let it start to work its magic. Will be able to add some other goodies to the batch by the weekend. Pictures to follow. Fresh frozen trout and walleye thawing. Prepping the fillets for the pickle Walleye fillets looking good. Trout fillets ready to fill in the volume. Fillets placed into the pickle bath then a brisk wash them around. Capped and ready to pickle in the Fridge.

got a batch almost done , started 3/26 for it's 5 day soak I realized last night I didn't have any white onions and it had started in the bring at 9:30pm so I gave it another day in the brine and did it tonight it went into the sugar , vinegar , wine ,pickling spice tonight. I will give it a try Saturday and see how it is this was 3 suckers made a little more than a quart I have another batch of a dozen suckers then another with 29 suckers this was just ball pickling spice I can see figuring out my own pickling spice

Greencountypete do you have some special flavor ingredients in your brine. Kind of looks like some things I see in little piles laying around my yard. Are you holding back on us with your pickling spice recipe.? Jayme are you adding Mountain Dew as a substitute for the wine. What are you going to do with your final brine. I am thinking of adding another cup of sugar and one less cup of vinegar to sweeten the batch. I don't want them too tart. How long will these pickled fish hold up in the fridge? I was thinking about putting some in quart canning jars to keep for later. Will they hold up without spoiling in the cellar after they are transferred.

Is this mainly just for coon or will other predators be attracted?

I have some in the brine now also. Let sit for 5 to 6 days then put in jars and add the pickle mix and set for 24 to 48 hours then the fun to begin to eat . Went out fishing for some suckers yesterday only caught one . let it go till there is more of them.The ones I got in brine was in the freezer.

Has anyone pickled the flying asian carp? I’m planning on trying them pickled. I pressure can them all the time. Used to just mix in the jars with common Carp but actually prefer 100% silvers (Jumpers). They look much brighter and whiter in the jar. I think they will make great pickled fish. They won’t be jumping on our river till the water warms up a bit.

YUM, I'd eat all the above. Old feller named Weber used to give me a jar of canned smelt every year. I miss him. I should try it with stocked trout, they're about the same size lol.

I don't think I could pickle walleye. It would be in a cast iron pan frying before it could hit a jar. LOL But I do like my pickled fish anytime of the year.
