This special, homemade, layered pickled fish in jars is a real home-made delicacy. The carefully cleaned pieces of fish are layered with onion rings, carrots and spices and then matured in a salt-vinegar dressing, resulting in an extremely tasty fish specialty that surpasses even store-bought herring.
Ingredients (To prepare the marinated fish):
Fresh fish (e.g. smaller fish or fillets, thoroughly cleaned)
Onion (cut into thin rings for layering)
Carrot (cut into rings)
Water (for the marinade base)
Salt and granulated sugar (for the perfect balance of flavors)

cool completely.
Layering in jars: Place a row of red onions and carrots in the bottom of clean mason jars, then fit the fish pieces tightly on top. Repeat this layering until the top of the jar is reached.
Pouring and sealing: Pour the cooled, spicy vinegar marinade over the fish and vegetables so that it completely covers them. Seal the jars tightly.
