Clean and fillet the herring, removing any bones.

Prepare the pickling brine by combining vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan.

Heat the brine over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.

Allow the brine to cool to room temperature.

Slice the onions thinly and set aside.

In a jar, layer the herring fillets, sliced onions, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and dill.

Pour the cooled brine over the layered herring and onions, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, preferably 2-3 days for best flavor.

Serve chilled, garnished with additional dill if desired.
