We'll definitely be out in the Bay in the spring, and mackerel should taste very similar. So, if we can't get a striper ...Jen -- So you're a member of the Near East imitator's club as well, eh? As for botulism, I think we're safe on two fronts. The acid in the vinegar should be sufficient to keep it at bay, and my understanding is that it only grows in temperatures over 40 degrees F. We're keeping it in the fridge, below that. If posts stop suddenly, you'll know I made a tragic mistake. Amanda — And I thought everyone liked pickled fish!

Nope. Those Near East guys have made a pact with some culinary devil.Big congrats on the pickled herring. Are my botulism worries unfounded? I am going to try your recipe on any late spring mackerel we catch.

This has to be one of my favorite foods! We use a very similar recipe and have found it is not terrible to use frozen herring. If you are out in Cape Cod Bay this spring, you might try some tinker mackerel pickled in the same way. It is so delicious. Yo-Zuri makes some nice Sabiki rigs that are effective, or any mackerel rigs will work. Congrats! Yummy! This has to be one of my favorite foods!
