The herring brings an extra portion of omega-3 fatty acids, which protect our blood vessels and can reduce high cholesterol levels. In addition, these fats increase our ability to concentrate. The fish also contains plenty of vitamin D, which is involved in the incorporation of calcium into the bones and thus protects against osteoporosis.

Whether fresh on a wholemeal roll or together with potatoes and curd, the marinated herrings taste delicious. Click here for a simple recipe that increases the omega-3 portion with linseed oil.

Preparation steps

Soak the herring in water for 12 hours, then rinse thoroughly and remove any scales. Remove the heads, rinse thoroughly again, and drain. Peel the onions and cut into rings. Rinse the small peppers, and let drain

Layer the onion rings, peppers, and spices in a large glass jar. Bring the vinegar, 300 ml (approximately 10 ounces) of water, and the salt to a boil. Pour over the contents of the jar, making sure everything is well covered. Seal tightly and let cool completely. Let marinate for at least 2-3 days before using.
