I could use some advice on brining herring. Thanks.

when I brine my herring Iuse a tupperware container big enough for one package. I put in 2 cups rock salt 1 cup water 1/4 ms.stewarts bluing to make it more translucent.good luck

Thanks, how long do you leave them in the brine?

I start brining mine the night before I go fishing. that way you don't have to cut bait in the morning, and your herring is nice and firm.

I just use canning and pickling salt. Two cups or so to a half gallon of salt water in a gallon container will take care of 5 dozen herring.
