Herring Forshmak with Apple

An airy forshmak made from tender herring — really delicious. This light, fluffy spread of tender home-salted herring comes from Jewish cuisine. Forshmak is made from finely ground herring fillet. For the best flavor, choose a fatty herring. If you're buying it ready-made, taste it first — it should be lightly salted, which matters here.
