We used to dip for herring when they ran up the river.  I would filet and
pickle them by the gallon.  Some in sour cream, some in wine vinegar, some
plain vinegar, some with onions, etc. etc.  Every season we would have a
party and it always ended up with someone or other getting a gallon dumped
on them so we always needed a new "host" to hold the party.  No one EVER
wanted to host one twice!
