Capelin is a fatty and very tasty fish, with a flavor similar to mackerel. At the end of the video, I will show you how to marinate it with onions and oil.

Salt: 2 tablespoons (per 1 kg)
Sugar: 2 teaspoons (per 1 kg)
Bay leaves, black peppercorns: to taste
Fish seasoning: optional

Remove heads and guts. Add sliced onion, sunflower oil, and a few drops of vinegar. Leave it in the fridge for another 1-2 days to marinate.
