Dishes with Herring

Surprisingly enough, many people still think that herring is born salted. As a matter of fact it is a normal fish that is fried, deep fried, smoked and cooked in other, fantastical ways. However, we are used to smoking such kinds of herring as sprat and anchovy; while herring itself is salted and used as an ingredient in many tasty dishes.

"Russian" Starter

On the Russian table herring is used for any occasion. The most simple and reliable national recipe with herring is boiled potatoes and herring with onions poured with sunflower oil. This time-tested combination can be served hot and cold.
Ingredients:
1 herring,
6-7 middle-sized potatoes,
1 onion,
100 g soured cream
Boil, peel and finely dice the potatoes. Fillet the herring, cut it into small pieces. Cut the onions in half-rings. Mix the potatoes, herring and onions, dress with soured cream. A little mustard can be added to the dressing.

Omelette with Sprats
It turns out that the well-known and loved in Russia sprats (tinned smoked sprats in oil) are not a separate species of fish, but a distorted Latin name for the Baltic herring. So, sprats are made from Baltic herring and anchovy, and sometimes smaller Clupeidae (herring family) fish. Today we are offering you the recipe that is popular in Northern Germany, first of all in Schleswig-Holstein, the birthplace of Catherine the Great.
Ingredients:
4 eggs,
