After enjoying a jar of herring over the last week, I started thinking about pickling some fish, I was surprised I couldn't find a thread on here. Has anyone done it? Have a recipe and instructions? Go-Fish

I’ve pickled whitefish, northern, white bass and even did a couple of walleye once and all turned out good. One key is to trim off any of the red fat when preparing the fish. I doubt catfish would pickle well as they contain a very high fat content in their meat.

Has anyone tried pickling catfish? I eat northerns. Just interested in what else could be pickled, and still taste good.

Mrduck, at 7 days in the pickling brine they were a little light on flavor, at 14 days they have a much better flavor and won’t be around for very long.
