Pickled fish

Throw in a couple of garlic cloves in each jar, and for a great suprise use sheephead!!

I keep hearing sheephead makes great tablefare.
There used to be a old timer up here that would make
muskrat sausage, among other things.
I never tried the sausage.
I figured it was a joke.
I don’t know if I can bring myself to try them sheepies.
They eat the same things as walleyes.
Why not?

fish should be frozen at least 48 hrs to kill “broad fish tapeworms”, they dont die from the pickling process.

Wow! I have never heard that for pickled fish.
I have heard of the ocassional sushi eater ending with a tape worm.
The first brine is 100% salt saturation to the point where the vinegar will not take any more.
The salt will not kill the worms?
No big deal to freeze them for 2 days.
I prefer fresh to frozen for the texture, but better to be safe than sorry.

yes this is true, but i dont know anyone that have problems from under cooked fish or pickled fish,freeze your fish before pickling an you will be safe:) I will most certainly be trying you recipe i love pickled fish
