Filleted Herrings in Oatmeal

• 2 good herrings
• handful porridge oats
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• lard

Mix the oats with salt and pepper on a board or plate and pat them onto the opened, filleted fish. Fry in lard, top first so they end up skin side down. They take about 2½ minutes each side, depending on the size of the fish. Serve with lemon wedges or with fresh tomato sauce.
