pickled Salmon

Post by cheaterparts » Thu Jul 25, 2013 11:52 pm

well I think Salmon is better for bait than to eat but just to try something new I did a batch of pickled Salmon
and its not bad by the way
I only did a small batch to see how it would come out and they were that good didn't last long

so here how it goes I took about 8 fillets off 33 cm salmon deboned them skined them and cut them into bight sized bits ( about 1" squares )
them using about a cup of salt filled a 750 ml jar with a layer of fish and a layer of salt then poured white vinegar in till it covered the batch by and inch or so
gave it a shake to stir the salt and vinegar and put it in the fridge for 5 days giving the brew a shake each day to stir it up as the salt settles

I made up the finishing brine on the forth day and put in the fridge so it would be cold to assemble

that was
2 cups of white vinegar
1 1/2 cups off white suger
1/2 of white wine
2 teaspoons of mustard seeds
1 teaspoon of pepercorns
1 teaspoon of whole allspice
5 whole cloves
4 bayleaves
put in a pot and bough to the boil and simmered for 5 min , then cooled and refidgerated
this was more than enough to do a small batch

after the 5 days the first brine was drained off and the fish got a quick rince in cold water

the fish was then layed bach in the jar with a layer of onion - fish , onion and so on till the jar was full
and the second now cold brine was pored in
with the lid on moving the jar around to shake the air bubbles out of the mix
it was then left in the fridge for 3 more days

well the salmon ran out and I just did some silver trevs the same way

another 3 days and these will be ready

That sort of method above is a Polish concoction for pickling eels!.
Works well for most fish. If you have room under your house, store a few jars in the cool dark under the house, the salt and vinegar mix will preserve It for years, and make it tastier than ever ! . cheers , Rick.

Goodonya Cheaterparts, I also love to dabble in different ways of preparing fish for the table, it adds another dimension to our sport.
To find a fish
You do the miles.
Catch the fish
and earn the smiles.

Lord,allow me to catch a fish, so large that even I,when speaking of it afterwards.........May have no need to lie !!!
