Instructions
Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes
Cover the herring and chill in wine vinegar for 24 hours, then debone. Mix together the sugar, salt, pepper, peppercorns, mustard seeds, and allspice. Slice the gherkins and onions. Layer as follows: First layer of herring, then sprinkle with some of the spice mix. Place the cucumber slices, onion slices, and bay leaves on top. Next, add another layer of herring and cover with spices. Repeat this process until all the herring are layered. The final layer should consist of spices with onions and bay leaves. Close or cover the container. Let it marinate for at least 24 hours—two days is best. The fish will easily keep in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Serve with well-seasoned fried potatoes and a jar of beetroot.
