Went ice fishing yesterday,in the pocono mts,.a small lake called mt. lake. My friend knowa a lot of people around there. We didnt catch much,but we had fun cooking, eating ,talking,one fellow there was 83 and knew the history of the whole area,he lives right near the lake. We caught one pickeral and some yellow perch. I ate the yellow perch last night,they are good eating. I have never eaten a pickeral ,they said too many bones in them,I brought it home anyway,I looked up a recipe to pickel it,I have it cut in chunks soaking in salt brine in the fridge now,The recipe says soak in brine for 24 hrs,then drain and soak in vinegar for 24 hrs,Then drain and put it in a mixture of vinegar ,sugar ,mustard seeds, sliced onions, and let it sit in fridge for 5 days, Anyone ever pickle fish? I will let you know in 6 days what happens,I figured it is worth a try!
