Home-Salted Herring

Incredible herring! Lovely with potatoes and onions! The herring is just a delight! I read this recipe from fishermen in the newspaper, and now I use it all the time. The herring comes out very tender, lightly salted, and with no E-numbers whatsoever.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Take a frozen herring, preferably a plump one, let it thaw a little, cut off the head, and peel off the skin. The skin comes off frozen fish very easily.
Step 2:

Clean out the insides and rinse.
Step 3:

Put it in a suitable dish.
Step 4:

Make the brine: put the salt, sugar, cloves, mustard powder, peppercorns, and bay leaf in a saucepan. Cover it all with water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, and let the brine cool.
Step 5:

Pour the cooled brine over the herring and refrigerate overnight. Dress it with onion and a little oil, and enjoy!

Salting herring this way is just a delight! I read this recipe from fishermen in the newspaper, and now I use it all the time. The herring comes out very tender, lightly salted, and with no E-numbers whatsoever.
