For the Marinade:
- Water (cold, boiled; 1 cup = 250 ml) – 1 cup

Instructions:
Peel and slice the fish into pieces about 1.5 centimeters thick. Do not salt the fish.
Coat the fish in wheat flour and fry it in vegetable oil over medium heat until it’s fully cooked.
Cut the onions into quarters and slice them into thin rings.
Place the cooked fish in a pot and layer it with the sliced onions.
To prepare the marinade, mix in a container: 1 cup of cold boiled water, 500 ml of tomato sauce with vegetable chunks, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of sugar, 100 ml of 6% wine vinegar, and 1 heaping teaspoon of salt.
Blend the marinade until you have a smooth emulsion, which should take about 30 seconds.
