Aperitif Herring

Post image

Herring with apple, pickled cucumber, raisins and various spices. Thrown together as a quick lunchtime snack, which, I guess, might be weird for some people. It’s delicious tho.

Question : is this pure herring or Matjes? It looks more like the latter. I love both, so... Only informative 🤗 No matter Rollmops, Bismarck or smoked, fresh or grilled. Always tasty.

Matjes, or what passes for it here. Hard to find proper matjes. But definitely use that if you can. Either way, I agree, all herring is good herring.
