100 ml distilled vinegar 10%
    |
Add the carrot and onions and remove the saucepan from the heat. Set aside until the liquid is cool. Add the vinegar and stir.

|
Remove the herring from the water and pat dry. Cut each fillet in half and transfer it into the vinegar solution. Prepare the glass jar with a lid.

Transfer the onions and carrots into the jar, then a few fillets, then onions and carrots and the fillets again. When all ingredients are used, pour the pickled liquid over. Cover with a lid and keep refrigerated for at least five days.
