The herring is probably one of the cheapest fish you can buy. It is also extremely good for you, providing essential oils. These soused herrings, probably originating in Denmark, make a good hors-d’oeuvre, which is improved by a dollop of sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 4 herrings, cleaned, boned and heads and tails removed
  • 1 small

Method

Lay the herrings in a fireproof dish, cover with the sliced onion, sprinkle with the pickling spice and add bayleaves, salt and pepper. Mix the wine and wine vinegar and pour over. Cook in a preheated slow oven 150°C/300°F/Gas 2 for about 1½ hours. Allow
