This procedure takes 2 weeks. Skin and fillet and cut fish into bite-size pieces. Place in a large earthen crock or a 2 gallon wide mouth glass jar. Add 5/8 c. salt for each quart of cut up fish. Cover fish with white cider vinegar and let stand for 5 days in the fridge. After 5 days, rinse fish; cover with cold water and let stand for 1/2 hours. Drain and pack pieces loosely into pint jars alternating with layers of sliced onions. Cover fish with the following cold pickle solution: 1 qt. distilled white vinegar, 2 cups sugar and 5/8oz. pickling spice. Cover jars; let stand for 1 week. Keep refrigerated. After 1 week, it may be eaten from the jars.
