Russian love herring. Maybe not as much as the Scandinavians, but the herring is a frequent guest at our table. Best herring – from the barrel, salted or spiced cured. Herring fillet with lots of onions and unrefined sunflower oil – one of the best appetizer (zakuska) to vodka. Another popular dish – herring under a fur coat, I was preparing to celebrate the New Year’s Day in Russian style. This version of the marinade for salted herring, I found the Russian-language blog, therefore I can not vouch for the authenticity, but this is great thing anyway.
