Pickled Fish are published occasionally by Salem Maritime National Historic Site. They present the latest research on topics related to Salem Maritime, written in a fun and easy to read style by site employees and volunteers.

Pickled Fish are designed to assist in the understanding and interpretation of any area of the site's history, be it an artifact, building, person, or event, for the benefit of site employees, volunteers, and friends of Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
