PICKLED NORTHERN PIKE- Catch, Clean, Cook

The Allegheny mountains of Western NY are beautiful. Such a simple, slow pace and a wonderful vacation from the hustle and bustle and summer heat of the NC coast. Fresh water fishing is fun in its own right, light tackle and finesse is the name of the game. I am a believer that a true fisherman can adapt to any given situation and figure it out. Explore different types of fishing and have fun learning and growing in this sport. Get out there and be somebody!
Recipe: This recipe is perfect for 1 pound of fish, fits 1 quart jar or 2 pints. Extrapolate as needed.
Freeze fish for minimum of 48 hours to kill any parasites.
Cut fish into desired chunk size (1 inch or less).
Brine: Soak fish for a minimum of 5 days in 3/4 cup of canning salt and 2 cups white vinegar to dissolve bones, stir once per day. After 5 days, soak fish in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes then rinse in colander to remove most of the salt.
Pickle: Boil 2 cups of white vinegar with 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of pickling spice. Let cool to room temperature. Pack jars with layers of fish, 1/2 thin sliced onion and 1/2 thin sliced sweet bell pepper. Pour cooled brine over fish and cover with lid. Refrigerate for 5 days and serve - keep refrigerated for up to 6 weeks. Enjoy!

If you come up to NY again for some summer fun , may I suggest checking out the Finger Lakes ( Cayuga and Seneca specifically ). Great fishing in both lakes. Always enjoy the videos.

Really appreciated the advice on the prep and pickling process for the Pike. I hope it will work on Congers. I would like to see a video about that!

the soup had to be cooked on a fire, this is a Russian fish, most often they have it growing in various places, a very rich soup is obtained from it, the name pike is a very smart, fast and dangerous fish in the pond.

the fish is not bad, but it's better to let go of a small one, it will still come in handy, I'm glad for you, there would be more such moments))
