I made this recipe but substituted homemade rhubarb strawberry wine and corned beef spices (pretty much the same as pickling spices but with bay leaves). I smells awesome and tastes even better!!

If you can't find "Silver Satin" wine.. look for any cheap Sauterne wine. Also.. try adding 1-2 thin slices of lemon and 1 whole, fresh bay leaf to each jar, along with some hot peppers if your palette enjoys.

I've been looking for this recipe for a long time. Thanks, it is the best!

Pickling cisco is a November tradition in northern Wisconsin and I've been making this recipe for years. Since silver satin wine is no longer unavailable, I've tried various substitutions but hit on the BEST this year: white port...much sweeter and richer than most white wine. I have also started using Penzeys pickling spice (available on line or in their stores in major centers.) It really makes a difference! Remember that fish cooks very easily so make sure you cool (even chill) the liquid before adding to keep the fish from going 'mushy'.

Great!!! I used this to pickle a big sucker that I caught. It was great (was because it is already gone), and the bones where at a point that I couldn't tell they were still there.

Just the way my dad would make them!!

I made it with salmon. easy to do,

Simply the best and easiest recipe, try it with walleye or perch. Its great!
