Good video. I use catfish nuggets from Walmart, cut up to smaller pieces and it works fine. Someone in another video said that catfish can't be pickled because it will turn mushy...which is totally incorrect. In fact, I find that it is very close to the taste and texture of herring. Plus, it is the cheapest boneless fish you are likely to find whether in a supermarket or a fish store. Also, since it is a freshwater fish that should be frozen to kill potential parasites, it's handy if it comes already frozen. On top of that, commercial freezers have a lower temperature than home freezers, so that is a extra safety feature. It is my understanding that the parasites that occur in freshwater fish to not occur in solely saltwater fish (caution...anadromous fish, which spend part of their lives in each of fresh & salt water can have those parasites. I'm not sure how common they are, but you don't want to take chances with them.)
I would not think that would be possible. 1 I think it would be nothing but mush, I also think with the wine in it it would totally change the taste. Chris
i am wondering if you ever tried fresh water drum fish? the flesh of this fish is quite rubbery so wondering if pickling would be the way to go with it because i tried frying and grilling and i still did not like the texture or taste much
Well that's a good question, because there will be brine leftover but would it be enough to do that much more fish? Maybe make one & a half of brine & I'm sure that would cover all. Thanks for the question & for watching. Chris
