Mediterranean Pickle Brine Fish or Chicken
Once you are done your jar of JVB Brothers' Co. pickles try using the leftover brine as a marinate. If using fish I recommend using a salmon or tuna fish. Something that will marinate best if using a tilapia or flounder it tends to not soak up flavor as well
4-5 pieces of salmon or other fish or 4 -5 breast of chicken (sliced thin)
marinate
JVB Brothers' Co. pickle brine one 16 oz jar should suffice
2-3 cloves of garlic pressed
1 teaspoon pepper
