Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Before preparing the herring, if it is very salty, it should be soaked in water or in a weak tea infusion for 3-4 hours. Herring fillets, cleaned of skin and bones, can be soaked in cold milk: it gives the herring a delicate flavor.
Step 2
Cleaning the herring is done as follows. Cut off the tip of the belly, the head, and the tail, gut it, make a cut along the back, and remove the skin from both sides. Separate the flesh from the backbone by cutting the rib bones from each half. Fold the herring halves together and slice them. After that, transfer the herring pieces from the cutting board to a plate or tray, and place the cleaned head (without gills) and tail next to it.
Step 3
The prepared herring, arranged on a plate or tray, can be garnished with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, gherkins, pickled mushrooms (such as chanterelles or milk caps), boiled beetroot, potatoes, carrots, green or regular onions, capers, and boiled eggs. All garnishes should be neatly and beautifully cut into circles, slices, cubes, or finely chopped. Arrange the garnish symmetrically on both sides of the herring. Place the onion rings on top of the herring. Before serving, drizzle the herring and garnish with the dressing.
Step 4
For the dressing, mix oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper (to taste), and add vegetable oil.
