PEGGI'S PICKLED FISH
This was a recipe my husband had when I met him. Now, I've made it for the past 26 years. He was originally from Iowa where they ate pickled Herring all the time.

Steps:
- 1. Soak fish in salt brine in fridge for 48 hours. BE SURE FISH IS COMPLETELY COVERED BY SOLUTION & DO NOT PACK TIGHT THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS RECIPE.
- 2. After 48 hours, drain & rinse fish thoroughly. Fish will appear somewhat slimy at this time. Don't worry, the vinegar in the next step will firm it up.
- 3. Place back in container & soak in white vinegar, in fridge for 24 hours.
- 4. DO THIS STEP ABOUT 4 HOURS BEFORE YOUR 24 HOURS ARE UP!! In the meantime, prepare the solution of vinegar & sugar by just bringing to a boil. ( May need extra solution)
- 5. Make sure your jars are fairly hot by soaking in hot water. Place spices & onions in jars. Pour hot solution in jars & cool completely.
- 6. After 24 hours, drain & rinse the fish that's in the vinegar.
- 7. Place fish in jars with solution. (DO NOT PACK TIGHT.) Be sure solution covers fish completely. Put lids on & store in fridge. Let set in fridge at least a week before serving. Serve with crackers or any other type of appetizer.
