I did this one, it turned out pretty good:

Ingredients:
Empty/clean gallon plastic milk jug with lid
3-4 lbs pike fillets cut into ¼ to ½ inch pieces (don’t worry about bones the vinegar will dissolve them)
10 cups water
1 ½ cups pickling salt (or coarse salt)
1 Gallon white vinegar
1 jar pickling spice (I use McCormick 1.5 oz)
4 large onions
4 quart jars
4 cups sugar

Directions:
Dissolve 1-cup salt and seven cups cold water in the cleaned milk jug. Drop pieces of cut fish into the jug. Top with the remaining salt and fill jug to within 2 inches of the cap. Shake well. Refrigerate for 24-36 hours, rotate or shake the jug several times during this waiting time. After a day or so remove fish from jug, rinse well (jug and fish), put the fish back in the jug, and cover with vinegar for 48 hours. Again, rotate or shake the jug several times during this waiting time. Empty fish and vinegar from the jug into a large colander with a bowl below to catch vinegar. Measure vinegar and add enough from the bottle to make 8 cups in a large saucepan. Add 4 cups sugar and pickling spice; bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes then let cool to room temp. Cut 1 onion for each quart jar (I leave the onion in rings). Start with a layer of onion on the bottom of the jar then alternate layers of fish and onion (I end with a layer of onion on top too). Pour room temp brine over the fish and put the lid on the jars. Make sure to completely cover the fish/onions with brine. Refrigerate for 10-14 days before serving.
