PICKLED BLUEGILL and CRAPPIE (You Have GOT To Try This)!

I have pickled a lot of things. Pickles, carrots, beets, eggs... But this is a first for me. Pickled fish just sounded good and I recently caught a bunch of panfish. So, I figured why not! Come check out the recipe I tried and tasted!

We made this about 40 or 50 years ago. Used small bluegill, we scaled them, gutted them and then cut heads, fins and tails.

[@jigginwithjake2796]

It’s a tasty treat for sure

[@DavidHurst-jf8sp]

Did this about 50 years ago with small fish -over population of them in the pond. Old timers told me how. Very good and the bones dissolved No waste. Better than having a huge population of stunted bream.

[@carlpeiffer291]

love the chewing sounds. Good vid. Pickled gill is awesome.

[@danthompson1467]

Your the man 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Thanks Dan. Crappie video on Sunday.

[@alextaylor6007]

Pickled fish is excelent...

[@jigginwithjake2796]

I learned that on this one. Definitely will do it again

[@alextaylor6007]

@@jigginwithjake2796 best ive ever tried home made was northern. But want to try some other kinds

[@catfishpatrol]

[@bigbrother3721]

[@jigginwithjake2796]

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Great video buddy I might have to give that a try keep those lines tight my friend

[@jigginwithjake2796]

It’s definitely worth a try

[@anglingwitharlieandfamily2036]

Looking good

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Wish I had remembered to bring it.

[@joebuck66]

I would be willing to try that , not sure I would like it but, who knows. I didn’t think I would like raw oysters but, I love them. Great instructions and video Jake.

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Thanks Jo. Good seeing you

[@theloneoutdoorsman]

I've only ever pickled redhorse and pike. Might have to give this a try sometime can't be much different than pike. Atleast with pike it'll dissolve or soften the Y bones enough to eat. I always add onions. Pickled onions alone are just a good snack.

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Agreed. I had extra pickling brine so made an extra pint jar of onions. Glad I did.

[@razinoff]

I have tons of catfish in the freezer, do ya think cat would be good. I love sardines and pickled herring so I'm guessing I'ld love these too ?

[@jigginwithjake2796]

I’d say it’s a full send. Just cut it thin if they are big fillets.

[@craigkrage2689]

Nice Shirt

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Yeah buddy

[@Jc-lh4nc]

Do the jalapeños come out sweet

[@jigginwithjake2796]

The longer the soak the less heat they have.

[@MidWestRiverRat]

So is the freezing necessary because you ain't cooking it then? Or is that what you're supposed to do anyway? I found out that we're supposed to be freezing our venison for a few weeks or months or whatever it was, before eating it. Hasn't killed me yet.

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Yes. It needs frozen to kill any parasites that may be in the fish. It’s essentially cooked. That vinegar and salt brine sucks every bit of moisture out and cooks the fish. After you rinse it and soak it in an ice bath the bites of fish are bright white and super firm.

[@mrstackracks1189]

Never heard of pickeld fish seems legit

[@jigginwithjake2796]

It’s legit

[@olzama13]

How long does it keep in the fridge?

[@jigginwithjake2796]

2-3 months

[@BigWins-rf2vc]

Recipe Cred to Shotgun Red

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Yes sir

[@mrstackracks1189]

Did u cook it ?

[@jigginwithjake2796]

It “cooks” in the salt/vinegar brine.

[@19stoney64]

Might make good catfish bait. Lol…

[@jigginwithjake2796]

It’s better on a cracker!

[@catfishpatrol]

If you think that's a little bit of salt you better have health insurance 😉

[@jigginwithjake2796]

🤣 all that gets dumped and rinsed off. It’s actually not incredibly salty

[@jerkbait6878]

Hey I’ll just have to take your word on it.

[@jigginwithjake2796]

Not gonna try it?
