Pickled mullet

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 6 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   We take fresh fish, I have the freshest mullet (my husband has an uncle who is an avid fisherman, so we are simply inundated with fresh fish)). You can take any other fish, such as herring, herring, trout or mackerel. The fish must be turned into fillets with skin. This is done quite simply; using a sharp knife, cut off the flesh from head to tail, closer to the ridge. I can’t show you because I take the photos myself.

2. STEP 2

   

   Next, lightly salt the fish, take 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of coarse sea salt and sprinkle on the fillets while we make the marinade.

3. STEP 3

   

   Let's prepare the spices. We will need several peas of black, allspice and pink pepper, 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and a bay leaf (I have it fresh, because we have bay trees on the street, and I can always pick a few leaves for myself)). And cut the onion into rings.

4. STEP 4

   

   We make the marinade, pour 150 ml of water into a saucepan, add our spices, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, turn off and cool slightly. While the marinade is cooling, place the fish in a non-metallic container, sandwiching it with onion rings.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 4 tablespoons of white wine vinegar 6% to the warm marinade (can be replaced with apple vinegar). Pour the marinade over the fish and put it in the refrigerator. It will be ready in 3-4 hours. If larger, keep it in the marinade a little longer. Drain the marinade and pour vegetable oil over the fish. Eats instantly, you need to cook more)))

Anka, this fish is already making my mouth water))) I also love salty fish! However, instead of mullet I salt mackerel (we don’t have mullet), and instead of mustard seeds I add coriander
