Only thing I know that pickles good is asparagus.

One year I pickled up some trout and found out I didn't care for it. Previously tried herring and salmon. The salmon was tolerable.. and the trout was the same. Had to eat three jars of it. Did. Haven't had the urge to do that again.

We hit the mother lode of trout that year at a lake up in BC. It was 3 pounders on every cast. After a while we started testing out different lures to see what they wouldn't bite on. They hit just about every fly in the box and also would even take little black rubber jigs off the bottom. Never did find out what bug was emerging that they were so hot on. Must have been a very active bug as they hit were like sledgehammers and threatened to yank the rod out of our hands.

Nope... no pickled whitefish... not this year.

Did get to try trout sandwiches made just like tuna sandwiches... tuna is better.
