HOME MADE PICKLED HERRING
HOW TO PICKLE HERRING AT HOME
Lightly salted herring is a very popular traditional dish not only in Russia, but also in Holland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark and some other northern countries. In Russia traditional lightly salted seledka was always made whole in large quantities in wooden barrels, then cleaned, cut and served under sliced onions as a classical snack (“zakuska”) with vodka.
Here’s how to pickle fresh herring.This fish pickles in just 12- 24 hours and has a mellow flavor. Part of the trick of preparing herring is filleting the fish. If you buy it fresh at the supermarket, they’ll probably clean for you. Herrings are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to protect against heart, skin and circulation problems. When fresh, herrings are susceptible to spoilage, so pickling is an excellent way to preserve them.
Ingredients :
500 - 600 ml of warm water
1 tbps of sugar and 1 tbsp of salt

I've honestly never heard of this but it looks very interesting! I wonder how it tastes :P
hehe yeah its really good!! you should totally try it!!
Does this method taste good with other fish?
I recently began sea fishing and will mostly be catching mackerel.
of course, mackerell is very suitable for this kind of cooking. its a good start even for sushi, i suggest to freeze for 2days before curing to kill anisakis if present. if you dont like sushi, you can still cook after curing for 2 minutes at side in a pan or grill.
ummm not sure with other fish!!! but def works with herring!!
No please, DON'T. Mackerel is great as filet and the grilled or smoke them. Never try to pickle them like herring. The taste of mackerel and their texture will ruin the fish if you pickle them.
Looks tasty! I'm a pickled egg man myself. I'm always stinking out the kitchen though...
There's no vinegar involved?
Nope
Looks yummy even Raw!
yah its really good :)
Fried ones will be so juicy...
Great job !)
We eat this EVERY New Year's Eve but I have never considered making our own.
I am intrigued!
We eat the one in wine usually. We don't care for the creamy one.
yes you really should try it that way ;)
Believe me- already added to my notebook for recipes and ideas- thank you!
I'm a sucker for pickled herring, it's pretty popular on the lake Michigan coast of Wi, something satisfying about that cured/vinegar flavor and hearty chunks (-:

I will eat any fish on sight!!!
