Pickling Fish Other Than Pike?

[blackdog1101]

Have any of you picked bluegills or crappies? As long as I use a safe pickling method will they turn out ok?

Good Luck!

You can pickle just about any fish that swims and I remember grandma trying just about every. Fish grandpa caught bullheads not so good to oily . She even pickled sheephead they were let's put it this way different and I probably wouldnt try the m again ever. Sunnies,crappies and even bass were really good . Sucker was pretty darn tasty also.

If it swims you can pickle it. If I don't have quite enough fish for a meal I'll freeze them for pickling. I've pickled pike, crappies, bluegills, perch, etc. all in the same batch. I also keep suckers in the spring for pickling.

Perfect, this is exactly what I was hoping. Thanks!

I actually prefer bluegills/sunfish for pickling. I filet them boneless then cut each filet in half and they are about perfect size for on a cracker...

sunfish are really good.
