Fish in a Jar

7. 10. 2025

Do you have leftover fried carp (or other fish) from Christmas Day, and you don’t know what to do with it?

Then, put it in a mason jar, cover it with a tasty pickle, and let it stand. After some time, you will enjoy it in such a way that you will want to prepare it regularly.

Ingredients

3 cups of water
1 glass of vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1.5 spoons of salt
2 bay leaves
5 peppercorns
2 medium-sized onions
2-3 tablespoons of oil

Method

Slice the onion and fry it in oil.
Place the fried onion at the bottom of the glass, place the fried carp on it, and cover everything with the marinade prepared from the rest of the ingredients.
Close the jar and pasteurize for about 15 minutes until the water boils. You are done!
Carp prepared in this way can be stored for about six months.
Serve the delicacy chilled.
