Great idea...cant wait to try some diff recip.will post my fav wall. batt soon.I know SOMEONE [jkreg] who has a crab/wall cake I hope to see soon.
Ingredients:
4 to 5 lbs. Pike filleted with or with out Y-bone
1 Cup canning salt
White vinegar
3 cups sugar white or white brown mix
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup mixed pickling spice
2 large Onions (sliced)
garlic slices to tast
Cut filleted fish into 1'' to 2'' pieces. Using a crock porcelain or glass container, mix brine of 1 cup canning salt to 2 quarts water (or strong enough to float an egg). Soak fish pieces for 48 hours- stir after 24 hours. Drain and discard brine. Rinse fish and return to container. Cover fish with white vinegar for another 24 hours drain and discard vinegar. Make pickling solution of 4 cups white vinegar and 3 cups sugar. Heat enough to dissolve sugar. Cool solution in refrigerator a few hours or until cold. Add 1 cup white wine and 1/2 cup of mixed picking spices. Layer fish in jars with sliced onions in between. Cover fish with pickling solution and seal. Refrigerate at least 1 week. Enjoy!
If you leave the Y-bones in the fish, let them sit in the solution 2 weeks or more. This will allow the pickling solution to soften the bones. I take some of the cloves out of standard pickling spice bought at the store. To many cloves can be too strong
4 hard cooked eggs 1 cup fresh cooked bubot chopped

Salmon Recipe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my favorite recipe for salmon.
Get a bottle of salmon rub (prudhommes or mccormicks) and liberally season the meat side of the fillets as your grill is getting hot.
Melt a stick of butter in a pan
let salmon fillets sit for about 20 minutes in fridge to allow seasoning to penetrate the meat.
place salmon, meat side down on a pre greased/ hot grill for 3 minutes.
turn fillets over and baste with butter often until salmon done
thats it..... great simple recipe

Does not get any easier than this peoples.
Start by putting your Salmon (skinned) in a big ziplock bag. Depending on how many pieces you have then take frozen Lemonade concentrate and also put into ziplock. Try to make sure all of the fish are covered by it. You may need two cans. Do NOT add water with it. Nothing but concentrate. Let sit in fridge for overnight. Then you can put any seasoning you want on it. Magic Salmon Seasoning is the best that we have found by Chef Paul Prudhomme (pipcture on the 7oz. can looks like Dom Deluise. Sprinkle this or anything else on it. Put it on some tin foil on the grill and enjoy. You can really taste the lemonade in it.
Pre-cook bacon. Don't overcook bacon, leave it limp. Cut the bacon in half so the strips are half as long. Cut walleye fillets into 1.5" square bite size pieces. Wrap the walleye pieces each with a piece of bacon, insert a toothpick to hold in place. Heat grill to med/low and lay a piece of tin-foil down. Place the bacon wrapped walleye on the tin-foil to cook, flipping them once. when done put a dap of BBQ sauce on them. Enjoy.
I just tried this last week when smoking a batch of salmon. I'd never heard of anyone doing it, but decided to try it. It turned out ok, I think I can make it better. Let me explain...
I usually leave my smoker salmon in pretty big pieces and the walleye I thawed out was quite a bit smaller pieces. Because the pieces were smaller, they absorbed more brine and got a little extra salty and of course they dried out a little when cooked alongside larger pieces of fish. I did take them off early, but it was not early enough. In any event, the fish was firmer than salmon when smoked, because it was a little overcooked, it was almost a little rubbery.
I think I will try it again, but will try to match the size pieces better with the salmon I'm doing along with it, so it doesn't get over brined or over cooked.
FWIW, my smoking recipe:
I use about 7-8# fillets. Dissolve 1Cup table salt and 1C brown sugar in 1 qt warm water til dissolved. Add 3 quarts more cold water. Sometimes I throw ice in the quarts as I measure them out to cool it before the fish goes in. That's it, I brine it for 8-9 hours. Soak apple and hickory chips at same time.
Rinse fillets well and set out to dry with a fan on them for 20-30 minutes, trying to get that skin on them so seal in moisture. I put newspapers down, then wax paper. Be sure to spray your racks with no stick spray, really helps with cleanup.
I have a propane smoker with thermometer on the door and try to get it 220-230F for 1.5 hrs before I turn them over for about 1+ hr more. I always like it, but when it comes right off the smoker is when it's the best...Still warm!
Wrap what will be eaten soon in foil, the rest gets foil, then vacuum packed for freezer.
As I said, next time I do walleye, I'll probably cut brine time to 5-6 hours and time in smoker maybe 1.25 hrs total.
BTW, this recipe was given to me by a good fisherman named Dan. He's a good coach :)
Ok try this,

Sautee in bacon grease the following chopped veg.

Soffritto is a flavor base that is used in Latino cooking and Italian cooking when cooking soups or stews . This recipe will also work well with chicken or even pork chops. Huge flavor from a simple recipe.
2- onions chopped
1- jalapeno chopped
3- celery ribs chopped
1-red pepper chopped
1/2 of a whole bulb of garlic chopped
salt and pepper
1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Saute all the above in a little olive oil until nice and tender and almost caramelized. Place all cooked ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Add 4 TBSP of butter and a handfull of fresh parsley and a big handful of fresh cilantro. Process again until smooth and add salt and pepper again to taste.
Using any white flaky type fish, put fish filets on a buttered baking dish and spread some of the soffritto mixture on each filet coating evenly.
Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes and then Broil for 2 minutes or until the way you like the top to look. Serve with your favorite sides and Ice cold Beer!!!

Two large cod fillets
A half of yellow pepper finely chopped
A whole green pepper finely chopped

Take a glass baking dish cover bottom of it with thin coating of olive oil. Take cod fillets place them in dish spread a little bit of olive oil on fillets. Put a little bit of kosher salt, and tones restaurant style black pepper on fillets. Put your peppers on top of fillets. Place dish on grill at 275 to 300 for 40 to 50 minutes do not cover.
