How to properly and tasty pickle herring at home. Delicious recipes for marinades and sauces for herring.

Tips for choosing fresh-frozen herring in the store:

It is best to take Pacific or Atlantic herring,

Herring should not be covered with an ice shell,

There should be no damage on the skin (at the same time, there may be no scales on the fish, since almost all of it is lost when catching and transporting fish)

The eyes are whole, bright, bulging,

Gills and fins are pressed to the body,

The tastiest is a large fish with a thick back and rounded sides,

Avoid buying headless herring, as gills and eyes are the hallmarks of a quality fresh fish.
