This salty fish with a distinct smell evokes both love and repulsion.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1 herring (for starters)
  • 1 small onion
  • 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar (any kind)

Instructions

  1. Wash the fish thoroughly, and dispose of all of the innards and the head. Cut the fish along the spine, and gently, with your fingers, pull the fillet off the bones.
  2. Slice the onion into thin rings and lay them beneath and over the herring. Mix the oil with the vinegar and marinade the onion and fish mixture in it for a few hours.
  3. Cut the fillet diagonally, and arrange the pieces, in the shape of a fish, on a plate, with onion rings atop. Pour the marinade over it and keep refrigerated.
