Recipe from my aunt from Rügen

Hard-boil the eggs. In the meantime, dice the herring, onions, and gherkins and mix. Add the sunflower oil, and finally, chop the hard-boiled eggs and add them. I prefer three eggs because the hard-boiled yolk gives the salad a nice creamy texture. I also add a little gherkin liquid. Do not add any seasoning. The herring from the packet is salty enough. If you let the salad stand for a day, it will infuse well. For some, however, it will be a bit too salty. This salad brings the island of Rügen and the feeling of vacation to our homes. It goes perfectly with traditional jacket potatoes.
