Fish Salting

Description

It works both for festive occasions and everyday meals. Instead of wine, you can use 2 tablespoons of vinegar, but you need to increase the amount of water. I recommend using dry wine; it gives the fish a special piquancy and aroma. It's better to choose sweet salad onions. Fish cured this way keeps for no more than 2 weeks. It can be served warm or chilled.
