[ICE RAT]

I've got some frozen Eyes that I would like to pickle

Is frozen OK ? Are there some favorite recipes out there ?

Thanks

I have pickled fish quit a bit, there are recipes posted in the recipes foram, have to do a search, I like the ones with wine in them. If your worried about parisites or those little worms that are in some fish , freeze them for a few days first.

Here ya go. Got this from a friend a couple years ago. mmmm, gooooood.

6 lbs. fish cut in one inch pieces, bones in

1 quart white vinegar. (only white vinegar)

1 cup canning salt. (only canning salt)

Place fish in ice cream bucket. Don't use metal! Combine vinegar and salt. Stir a while till salt dissolves. Pour over fish a put in the fridge for 6 days. Stir occasionally. After 6 days dump brine and rinse in cold water.

Spice mixture:

1 quart white vinegar

4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon pickling spice.

Combine these 3 and bring to boil, then cool in fridge.

Pour over fish and add a couple or 3 medium onions cut up.

Let stand 3 days.

Eat, mmmmmmmmmmm. enjoy!

Here is the recipe I've used many times.

Pickled Fish

Ingredients:

Fillet fish and cut into strips about 1" wide. Pack Loosely into quart jars until about 3/4 full. Add to each jar the following:

2 to 2 1/2 tsp. of salt

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp. pickling spices

1 to 2 medium onions finely sliced

Directions:

Top off jars with white vinegar and refrig for a week or so. Depending on thickness of the fillets.

I usually only make 3 or 4 jars and it's gone in a few weeks.

Here is a link to the topic from last year.

yeah, check out a search for some good recipes. the only info i'd add is to lengthen the time of soaking in vinegar if you have thicker pieces (over 1/4" thk). ad an extra 2 hours or so.

also, i throw in sliced jalapeno peppers (with seeds), pepper juice, red pepper flakes to add a nice kick to the fish. it is awesome!

good luck!

ps.. i've never tried pickling eyes, but have done perch and they turned out well.

Icerat, if you do a search, check for a recipe provided by Coldone.

I have used this or a variation of it several times with great results.

Just about any white flesh fish is good pickled.

Frozen is actually preferable, since freezing kills any parasites in the flesh.

Good luck.

Will this recipe work on chicken hearts? I have a bunch from chickens we cut this fall from a feed.
