Step 4
Peel the onion and rinse it under water. Slice into half-rings and place on the fish slices. Then coat another portion of the fish slices with spices and place them in a container, then again — onion. Continue in this way until all the slices are used up. Next, mix everything in the container thoroughly with your hands so the onion releases its juice and it blends with the fish. Pour in vegetable oil and place the container in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Cover with plastic wrap or a cellophane bag, leaving a small opening for air.
