Title: pickled perch?
Post by: jeepster on June 20, 2011, 12:52:15 AM: the lake up above my house is just loaded with panfish and i saw a recipe in field and stream for picked pike that looks really good and i figured it would give me something to do for a few hours...

has anybody picked perch? i dont remember the last time i ate fish out of a lake, but i am a sucker for pickled fish...

http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/gabris91.html (http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/gabris91.html) here is some more information on rollmops, and pickled fish.

http://www.owsd.org/Sharing_recipes.html (http://www.owsd.org/Sharing_recipes.html) there are 2 more recipes, along with a ton of game recipes.

just waiting for my buddy to get here and off to the lake.

Also saw a review where they used trout in the recipe and supposedly the individual said it turned out great.

LMFAO, since I grew up in Northern New York and tried this with many different recipes and ways I could have told you so, but then someone else would have come on here and said no try it this way. So at least you got first hand expereince that it sucks to scale them, it sucks to fillet them and it sucks to pickle them. Have a great day you just made up your mind you will never have to do that again.
