After seeing the pickled fish threads I want to try making some, what fish can I buy that will work the best? In Nevada most of the warm water type fish have a health advisory against eating them or only eat 6 oz a month.

the guy making pickled fish in the video posted many times uses talapia

that or Pollak would be two of the lower cost fish options.

To date I have not heard or seen Pollak eating washed corn from cow poop at a big ol panhandle feedyard.
I saw it with my own eyes up at Garden City KS and I haven't gong near Tilapia since

Oh no! Salmon is amazing taste-wise no matter how it's prepared. We broil it with lemon pepper and dip it in butter. You haven't lived until you've had smoked salmon with a beer.

Incidentally, watching a quiz show called Masterminds one night, one of the questions was: What fish is considered brain food? The answer was salmon. Salmon is also considered one of the most heart-healthy foods there is as well.

LOL !!!!!!!!!! I can't stand beer either.

I have eaten so much salmon for so many years that the only way I could face it again is when feeding to a dog team.

Pollack is not farmed at all I wouldn't think, I don't know how they could make it pay. It's a bycatch in northern waters, a bottom feeder similar to a cod. They call it Alaskan walleye sometimes but it's more like a bullhead than a walleye.

Pike is some of the best pickled fish I know of.

Tilapia-farming is all over the US. Its one of the easiest fish to raise I'm told.
