Brathering

Brathering is a traditional German method of preserving fish in vinegar, salt, and spices. Imagine taking a fish, cleaning it, and then putting it in a jar filled with vinegar, water, salt, onion, pepper, and bay leaves. The fish then gets pickled in this mixture for a few days, which means it absorbs all the flavors and the vinegar helps to preserve it so it doesn't spoil. This process gives the fish a tangy flavor with a bit of a kick that some people really like. It's like making a fancy kind of fish that you can snack on whenever you want!
