How to Pickle Northern Pike | Catch Clean Pickle (start to finish)

[@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors]

Great video! I clean my pike boneless using the 5 piece method and keep the loins and tails for frying but save the bone pieces until the end of winter when I then do a big batch of pickled pike!

Trying this recipe from Kentucky😋 couldn’t find enough sucker so I substituted white perch. Hopefully it’ll turn out 🤞

I met Jonny Hendricks at party city in Mansfield Texas a week before his fight with Martin Kampman and the dude was shredded. When I told him I thought he'd KO Kampman in the first he said something to the effect of don't underestimate him he's really good. Then he took a pic with my son and I. Really seemed like a good guy.🥊keeeip that at chlinmp =champ yall gett in to GSTP Cheater no more 🥋

I question the need to freeze the fish first. Not saying it would hurt anything but in a heavy brine I think you are pretty much safe from parasites. I go a step further and skip the water and do a vinegar and salt brine for 5 days. Shotgun Red's recipe. Great video!

[@TomahawkPursuits]

You may be right! I'm sure there are many good ways to do it. Cheers!

Well done video thanks!

Nice vid. Is sugar an absolute necessary ingredient?

[@TomahawkPursuits]

I don't know if it is an absolute necessity, but it seems to be a big part of the flavor because the pickling solution is very sweet. Try it without the sugar and let us know!

[@sonboogie]

@@TomahawkPursuits Will do. Not going back out until next week but definately will try to bag some pike for the pickling.

How do you make pike taste like salmon?

[@joeknutson2077]

Do you rinse the fish after the salt bath? Or do you just drain it?

[@TomahawkPursuits]

Yes, rinsing the salt brine is a good idea, but if you forget it is likely not going to hurt anything

[@joeknutson2077]

@@TomahawkPursuits Thanks for the speedy reply. I've got it soaking in a salt brine right now and will be transferring it to vinegar tonight. Great video!

[@TomahawkPursuits]

no problem!
