Instructions

  1. Soak the salted herrings for 12-24 hours and then wash them thoroughly several times to loosen the flakes. Cut off the heads and peel off the inner black skin. Now wash the herrings again and then layer them with the sliced onions and the spices in a small stone pot. Mix the vinegar with the boiled, cooled water and pour the marinade over the herrings. Let it steep for 2-3 days.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
