Aromatic Fried Pickled Fish
Exactly such pickled fish was served at home during holidays. You know this recipe for fish in vinegar, remember? I remember such fish perfectly, especially at a time when my father was fishing for roach and bream in the lakes during the summer holidays. My mother closed the fish in jars after frying them. This is the version from the times of communism in Poland, because of this period I remember pickled fish the most. Ah, these memories...
