In a small saucepan, add water, vinegar, curry powder, chili patty, chopped onions, and sugar.

Bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar is completely melted, then set aside to cool.

Ensure the jar is properly sterilized to prevent the fish from going bad.

Remove the backbone of the seal fish by peeling it off gently.

Dust the fish with plain flour, then dip into the egg mixture, followed by bread crumbs.

Heat butter in a hot pan and fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, then place on paper towels to absorb excess fat.

Assemble the fish in layers in the jar, adding red onion in between for more flavor.

Make sure the vinegar mixture covers the surface of the jar with the fish.

Let the fish ferment in the jar for at least two weeks before eating.
