COOKING:
1. Prepare salted herring in a day. To do this, defrost the fish.
2. Put all the spices in a saucepan, pour water and boil. Remove from heat and add a tablespoon of vinegar. Meanwhile, cut half of the onion into rings.
3. Cut the fish: cut off the head, tail and fins, remove the insides and backbone, and cut the fillet into pieces. Put them in a jar mixed with onion rings, pour marinade at room temperature and refrigerate for a day.
4. Assemble sandwiches: cut half of the onion into thin half rings, scald and marinate for 10 minutes in a mixture of the remaining vinegar, sugar and thyme with warm water (add enough so that the onion is barely covered).
