Pickled Fish
Fillet out fish (almost any kind, I often use northern pike, any firm fleshed white fish, blue gill, etc.) and cut into bite size pieces (if very thick slice in half). Remove skin. If skin is left on it gets tough. Fill jar and pack loosely. Add 5/8 cup salt to 1 qt of fish. Cover with white vinegar. Refrigerate. Let stand for 5 days, shake or stir each day, to shake up the salt.
After 5 days, drain and rinse in cold water for 10 minutes Place in jar in this order: fish layer, raw onion ring layer, fish, etc. In saucepan bring to a boil 1 qt white vinegar, 3 cups sugar and 1/4 cup pickling spice. Make as much as needed to cover fish and onions. Cool. Pour cooled liquid over fish and onions. Keep in refrigerator. Ready to eat in 36 hours, the longer they sit the better. Can be kept in the refrigerator indefinately.
