If you prepare herring roll-mops yourself you can control the amount of vinegar used. These are mild in flavour but the nicer for it. Roll-mops offer an ideal way of serving fish cold and they are handy too because they can and should be prepared in advance of serving.
Ingredients
4 - salt and freshly milled pepper
4 tablespoons
Method
Wash the herrings and scrape away any loose scales with a knife. Leave the fin on the back of each fish but trim off the others with a pair of scissors. Cut off the head and tail from each herring. Slit down the belly, remove the roes and clean out the inside. Place the herrings cut side down on a working surface and press along the backbone to loosen. Turn the fish over and carefully pull away
