Grandma’s way

Cut the herring fillets into small pieces and arrange them in a single layer in a ceramic pot. Then spread a thin layer of mustard, season with pepper, and cover with onion rings. Add a few splashes of vinegar, then pour over the oil. Repeat this process layer by layer, ensuring everything is completely covered with oil. Cover the pot and let it sit for 2 days. Tastes delicious on bread.
