Clean and wash the fish, pat dry, and season with salt. Then coat in flour and fry well on both sides. The fish can also be fried one at a time. When cooked, carefully remove them from the pan and keep warm. In the meantime, bring the water to a boil with the sliced ​​onions, 1 tablespoon of salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaves. After about 2 minutes, add the vinegar and let it boil briefly. Once slightly cooled, pour the mixture over the still-warm fish to cover them. Once completely cool, serve the fish immediately. However, it tastes better if it has had at least 2 days to marinate. For larger fish, it’s better to wait an extra day. If stored in a cool place, the fish will keep for at least 2 weeks. It tastes great with boiled potatoes or fresh bread rolls.
