2 herrings per person
2 bay leaves
1 lg. sliced onion for 8 fish
1 tsp. pickling spice
Vinegar & water to cover
Salt & pepper

Clean the fish and remove the heads and tails. It is not necessary to fillet them. Rub salt into the skin and lay them in an oven-proof dish. Add bay leaves, pickling spice, onion and pepper. Barely cover the fish with a mixture of half vinegar and half water. Cover with a piece of oven foil or a lid and bake in a moderate oven (300 degrees electric; gas regulo 3) for 30 to 40 minutes. They are also served cold, with a little of tangy liquid poured over. Also for mackerel.
