How to make Kelaguen Guihan Anglish

In Guam, my family and I like to pickle certain meats mixed with certain vegetables, Lemon powder or fresh squeezed lemon juice, and Fresh Red Hot Pepper. We call it "Kelaguen" pronounced as Ke la gwen, which means "pickle" in our Chamorro Language. In this article, I'm sharing one of my family recipes: "pickled salmon ears or pickled salmon", we call it "Kelaguen Guihan Anglish" pronounced as: kelagwen Gweehan Anglish (ang as in Tang but with out the letter T). If you're the type of person who loves to eat any pickled meat soaked in a lemoney spicy or non-spicy sauce, then you should try this.
