TimS Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Warm up the water, pour salt into it - stir. If the salt completely dissolves, add more salt and repeat. As soon as some salt remains at the bottom despite vigorous stirring, yah got good brine that will keep your skins for YEARS TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldyankee Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 kind of a jar do you use? FISH HARD, CARRY ON THE TRADITION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimS Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 kind of a jar do you use? Personally I like plastic pickle jars with a wide mouth and a good lid - I fill them with hot soapy water once the pickle are gone and screw the lid on and let them sit for long time. Rinse them well or yer eels will have a garlic scent to them...which is substantially more appealing than salty dead eels TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere.

Steve in Mass Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Personally I like plastic pickle jars I hear mayonnaise jars work better.......

Fishtale7 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I have a salt water fish tank and it takes 1/2 cup of sea salt (synthetic or natural) to one gallon of water. - Life is a waiting room, I hope they don't call me soon...... - Thomas Jefferson - "The course of history shows that as government grows, liberty decreases" - Our flag doesn’t fly because the wind that moves it.

vinnyb Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Tim's got it. Bring water to a boil & then start adding kosher salt until it doesn't dissolve anymore. Let it cool & there's your brine. I use plastic containers that take-out food comes in. BTW - you can also use this brine for your pork rinds.

Steve in Mass Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Okay, more seriously.......be sure your salt isn't iodized......you mentioned kosher salt, so you should be good to go there.....
