I've attempted this all time classic only twice,and both times I had been astonished about two things; 1)How simply a dish to create. 2)And how could I have waited so long to make it again.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this pickled fish. The flavor was very mild and the fish was very tender.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some salmon fillets that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided to try this recipe. The fish turned out great and my family loved it.
