Dock to Table

Recipe

The clarion call of the sea brings many a fisherman to Southwest Florida, but what you do with the one that didn't get away once you get back home?  Sarasota Florida Fishing offers recipes to consumers, including this delightful bluefish dish.

Picked Bluefish, Herring Style

Ingredients: 3 cups bluefish chunks, 1 large onion, thinly sliced, 1 heaping tablespoon pickling spice. For Marinade: 1-1/4 cup white or wine vinegar, ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons salt

Fillet bluefish. Remove all skin and dark meat. Wash fillets thoroughly before cutting them into bite size chunks.

Mix bluefish, onion and pickling spice in jar. Stir together ingredients for marinade and pour into jar.  Fill to the brim. Close jar and store in refrigerator for one week, remembering to shake the jar once a  day to allow the spices to blend evenly. Before eating I add sourer cream.
