1. Clean and rinse the herrings, pat dry, season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.
2. Fry them in plenty of hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crisp, drain on kitchen paper and let cool.
3. For the marinade, bring the vinegar, water and sugar to the boil, add the onion rings, bay leaves, mustard seeds, juniper berries and allspice and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Let the marinade cool completely.
5. Layer the herrings in a dish and pour the cold marinade over them so they are fully covered.
6. Cover and rest overnight in a refrigerator at no more than 4 °C. Eat within two days of cooking; the resting time counts towards this period.
Tip: Remove the fish bones carefully: marinating does not guarantee that the bones will soften. Refrigerate within two hours of preparation and consume within two days.
