Herring

[PaulS]

I have occasionally fished for sea herring around this time of year. I pickled a few. Whatever veggies I put in w/the herring tasted better than the herring.

I've never tasted any herring as good as ones from the Baltic Sea. Norway, Sweden, Finland, take your pick. All good. Never had any from Estonia but I imagine they're just as good.

Do you eat them like the Dutch with minced onions and straight down the hatch?

After I posted this I went online about how to eat them .

Saw a YouTube video on the different ways they eat herring

And saw the minced onion addition..

I would try a small piece 1st. Not a fishy fish eater.

Thanks for all the interesting responses.

There are onions in the brine in the jar, but I just stab a piece of herring with a cocktail fork. If a piece of onion catches on the herring, great, but I don't make an effort to find one.
