Pickling is mostly done with vinegar, sugar and salt and other spices,
so I was wondering why pickled foods are considered unhealthy. I enjoy
pickled herring and I would like to know exactly why this is bad for
you. I would think it's healthy with lots of omega 3 oils, being a
fatty fish. Can someone please enlighten me?

It is a great way to preserve fatty fish and fatty foods containing
copious amounts of omega 3s and other assorted essential fatty acids
and fat soluble vitamins. So is salting and/or drying.

You didn't read the salt article I posted?

Chinese get massive rates of stomach cancer from pickled cabbage.
Go figure!
