Fried Stuffed Herrings

This is my mother’s friend Iria’s recipe. She says this is autumn food in Finland, when the fishing boats anchor near the market places and you can buy really fresh herrings. These are also delicious sandwiched together with the dill and then barbecued in a fish rack over hot coals. Squeeze a lemon over them just before you serve. Whole herrings are also very good on the barbecue, just sprinkled with salt and pepper and then served with lemon juice and olive oil.
