I like pickled herring, specially in a cream sauce with onions, problem is I will sit down and eat the whole jar all at once, just give me some saltines crackers, and ice tea. Now I did not know that they considered ceviche pickled, I thought that was citrus based cooking, not pickling. I wonder if I have had this wrong all the time, but never heard Rick Bayless talk about it being pickling but as a cooking method. But then I guess I never thought of pickling as cooking but a preserving. Okay now I am going to have to research this to find out. is it cooking or is it presearving, and since the fish in ceviche become mushy after 3 days is it not being preserved but cooked in the citrus juice ? making ceviche is a cooking process not a pickling process
