"Herring" from Silver Carp

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   Get the ingredients ready. Wash the fish thoroughly. Fillet the silver carp, removing the bones as much as possible.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut each fillet into pieces about 2 cm wide.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pack all the fillet pieces tightly into a bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   For the marinade, mix the water, salt, and vinegar and pour it over the fillet pieces. The marinade should completely cover the fish. Close the lid tightly and refrigerate for 2 days.

5. Step 5:

   

   After 2 days, take out our silver carp. Now we need to squeeze out the marinade. With clean hands, take each piece of fish, squeeze it out, and put it in a clean bowl.

6. Step 6:

   

   For the next step, get ready: the squeezed fish, vegetable oil (adjust the amount yourself), allspice, and cloves.

7. Step 7:

   

   Into clean and preferably sterilized jars, layer the fish fillets, then a couple of allspice berries, a clove, and a drizzle of oil.

8. Step 8:

   

   Then another layer of fish, allspice, a clove, and oil. A half-liter jar should hold about three such layers. Pour oil over the top, just enough to cover.

9. Step 9:

   

   Close the jar tightly and refrigerate for 2–3 hours so the fish soaks up the flavors well.

10. Step 10:

    

    After 2 hours, taste the delicious homemade "herring" from silver carp! It's wonderful with onion and fresh dark bread. A real treat!
