    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and gut the fish if necessary, then cut into fillets or leave whole.

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the fish fillets and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Pour in the white vinegar, and add bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine and Marinate
