Recipe
We are used to the fact that herring must be either salted or pickled. However, this fish is no worse than any other that we usually cook over heat: hake, pollock, cod, flounder. Today, Cook It aims to encourage you to fill in this culinary gap and cook a mountain of delicious fried herring!
Don’t worry about the smell: if you cook the fish according to our recipe, all you will feel is its mouth-watering aroma. By the way, people in the Nordics also use this frying method. As you know, fish is the key ingredient in their local main courses. For this recipe, you will need medium-sized fresh-frozen herring. If the fish is covered with a white crust of ice or deformed, the product was thawed and re-frozen. Avoid purchasing such a product.
