I'd like to find a way to pickle fish and give it a good (6 months?) shelf life.

Has anybody got a suitable recipe? I'm thinking of Indian type recipes rather than Scandinavian recipes.

Failing the pickling solution, have you got a presevation solution e.g. salting or drying? I am aware of the Bombay Duck option.

I look forward to reading your replies.

Regards,

Martin

Not sure you would get anywhere near 6 months out of it, but what about making pat? sealed in with butter on the top.

Thanks AskCy. The Bombay Duck (dried Bummaloe fish) has a really long shelf life. Scandinavian Surstromming (canned) has a long shelf life too as too have Herring Rollmops (pickled fish). There is a Bombay Duck pickle with a good shelf life too.

I'm looking for a fish recipe that will keep. I would like to find something a bit different albeit fish or even squid/octopus or even shellfish.

Thanks for your reply,

Martin

I used to make a meat pickle a long time ago, not sure if this method will work for meat; http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/recipe_display.php?id=13135
