Pickeled some steelhead the other day, a friend did some suckers(vinegar disolves the bones) start by cutting fish into small cubes, fill a quart jar, boil white vinegar and 5/8 cup of salt per quart of vinegar, let it cool down, then fill jars( option to add peppercorn, pickeling spice, bayleaves) while boiling, set in refrig, for 5-7 days, then drain and wash fish, then boil up white vinegar, surgar, boil and cool down, cut up onions and pack jars at the rate of 1-1 onions to fish, usually layer of onions then layer of fish, when packed full , cover with vinegar and sugar, set in refrig, for 5-7 days, onions are as good as the fish, and JC beer goes well with it.
