JimW Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 This still the recipe of choice? Looked like it from the number of times bumped. Have some sherry vinegar I might try. Any suggestions/upgrades? Canyon Diver- Okay, here's the deal as I remember it!! I filleted a bunch of blues that I bled and iced. Skinned them and rinsed in salted water. The fillets were cut into bite sized pieces and placed in a glass bowl with brine solution. I made it with a cup of Kosher salt to a gallon of water. After 24 hours I drained and rebrined for another 24 hours. For the pickling solution I put a quart and a half of white vinegar and a cup of white sugar in a stainless pot and brought to a simmer. I added some coriander seeds, peppercorns and cloves (a few). (this was a feel thing, but I think it was about a teaspoon each of peppercorn and coriander with just a few cloves (cloves get overpowering really fast) and 2 large bay leaves. I turned off the heat and added a bunch of sliced Vidalia onion and let cool to room temp. Tossed the pickling solution into the fridge to chill and added the (drained) fish. Topped off with a bit of water and a bit more vinegar to cover (careful not to dilute the stuff too much!!) and let soak for a couple of weeks (tasted great after a few days, but got better with time) and added some sour cream to some of it (drained again) and devoured. Really good stuff. I think next time, I might add a bit of rice vinegar to the mix to mellow the sour flavor some.

canyondiver Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 This sounds nearly exact to a "T". I believe I did the rice vinegar in the posted recipe. I know I do now if I didn't then Proud to be a NERB and I have the shirts to prove it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
