What can I do with salted herring fillets?

[SleepFreeZone]

And don't say bin them!!! 😩

I picked them up yesterday from the reduced section thinking that fish was fish. But now I'm looking at them and I'm wondering what to do 🤔

I'm on a high fat low carb diet, so I could fry them off. Otherwise I tend to eat a small amount of dairy and meat, lots of fish and vegetables and good oils.

Oh, I love herring (I'm Danish). But I am not familiar with salted herrings. Are they in a brine? Or ar they like fresh fish fillets?

I'd have said in a kedgeree type dish but that's not low carb

I am guessing here, but I would suggest that the salt was to preserve them, not to flavour, so I would soak them in fresh water for half an hour, pat them dry and then fry them. I remember my Father used to salt runner beans when the freezer got too full and when they were boiled up they tasted so much fresher/better than frozen ones would have done.

They are in rapeseed oil. I'll take a photo.

I think shallow frying them could work too. I don't think I've ever eaten anything that didn't taste nice fried!! 🙊

Are they cooked already?
I'd do them in a huge salad with lots of mixed leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot and a horseradish dressing

Ooooh I don't know if they're already cooked!

I was in Holland recently and are some delicious lightly brined herrings. They just serve them with chopped onion and pickles. I would also turn them into a salad with new potatoes, chopped onion and maybe some dill. Which shop did you find them in?

Sorry just seen the Tesco logo so that answers my question. Are you in Poland?

Soak in water or milk for few hours, then cut into 3cm pieces. Layer fish and chopped ( or thinly sliced) onions in a jar, add bay leaf, sone peppercorns and allspice grains and fill up to the top with oil ( sunflower, rapeseed). Fish needs to be tightly packed not floating iyswim. Leave in the fridge for between 24- 48 hrs and voilá, śledzie w oleju! Serve with rye bread or new bolied potatoes. And vodka

Surely they're just like smoked mackerel?

So have them in a salad etc.
