Step 1:
Prepare the specified ingredients for cooking herring in mustard. I'm going to cook a shortened version of one herring. To prepare such herring, it is better to take fresh fish. If this is not possible, then the frozen herring must first be thawed, leaving it on the table at room temperature. Two types of mustard - one is simple (I have Russian, but you can take mustard cooked at home, it is "angrier"), and the second is in grains.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the thawed fish. Cut off the head and tail, get rid of the entrails. Then separate the fillet from the ridge, remove the bones and skin. Put the peeled herring fillet in a deep bowl. The fillet is first put in whole (I cut it into two parts for convenience), and then it will be cut into pieces.
Step 3:
Pour the prepared fish fillet with a liter of water, add a tablespoon of salt, mix. The salty brine should cover all the fish. Leave the herring in this brine for about 2 hours. I put the fish in the brine in the refrigerator.
Step 4:
In a separate bowl, mix 2 types of mustard, sugar, vegetable oil and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. When two hours have passed, drain the brine from the fish and cut it into small pieces, which will be convenient to take, for example, with a fork.
Step 5:
Pour the herring with the prepared dressing, mix everything. Put the fish in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours to marinate. The marinade should cover all the fish so that each piece is thoroughly marinated.
Step 6:
Serve ready-made herring in mustard cold - this is a cold snack that is perfect for potatoes cooked in any way. However, it is worth recalling that herring in mustard is not subject to long storage, in order to avoid trouble, such a dish should be consumed as soon as possible.
