Method of preparation: Salted herring, salted herring, no matter how you say this phrase, everything turns out delicious.

Homemade herring is no worse than store-bought herring, and believe me, it’s even tastier. There are a great many culinary recipes confirming this. Here, for example: we take a herring, clean it from the entrails and bones, and in short, prepare the fillet. Cut into small pieces, add salt and pepper in a cup, pour over vegetable oil. The main thing here is to hold on and not gobble up all this food before 2 hours. Although I can’t always stand it, I start eating almost immediately after cooking, I only have time to wash my hands. This is, so to speak, “dry” salting. Here is the recipe for “wet” pickling. Clean the fish and cut into slices. Sprinkle with pepper and chopped onion. Add a little table vinegar and vegetable oil. Prepare a saline solution: add salt to boiling water. Usually I take 2 tablespoons for 1 liter, but this is all prepared to your taste and depends on the size of the fish. Once the salt has dissolved, remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Pour in the fish and you can eat in half an hour.

Naturally, the fish must be very fresh, in the sense that although it is fresh-frozen, it is FRESH-frozen. In this way, you can cook fish very quickly... in a few hours it is ready, large fish are salted the next day.

We fillet the fish, that is, we cut it along the spine, remove all fins and bones visible to the eye, there is no need to remove the skin.
Next, prepare a mixture at the rate of 100 g of salt and 10 g of sugar per kilogram of fish.
I also add fish seasoning from a bag or whatever seasonings I like to the mixture.
All! Rub the fish thickly with this mixture,
pour our mixture into the bottom of the bowl,
Place the fish skin side down; if you get a second layer, then place it on top of the first, skin side up.
Sprinkle more salt on top and place in the refrigerator.

Nowadays you can find literally everything in the store. But a strange thing: the more choice, the less likely it is to buy a truly high-quality product. Even affordable salted herring can be stuffed with preservatives for better preservation and a pleasant presentation. Well, it’s time to go to the fish store for fresh frozen fish, and we will tell you how to pickle herring so that it turns out both tasty and healthy.

When choosing a herring, inspect the carcass for integrity of the skin. If you salt in pieces, then nothing bad will happen, but for salting whole carcasses, intact skin is very important - the fish may turn out to be over-salted. Of course, it is better to take ocean herring, large, fatty ones. And defrost it correctly: on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, without speeding up the process with hot water and a microwave. Let it thaw slowly.

There are many options for salting herring, but they are all divided into two types: salting whole carcasses (slow) and salting pieces (fast and sometimes super-fast method). Let's start with the quick ones so we can try it quickly.

Dry pickling of herring

Ingredients:
2 large herrings,
1 tbsp. Sahara,
1 tbsp. rock salt,
1 tsp ground black pepper,
1-2 bay leaves.

Preparation:
Remove the head and gills from the thawed herring, remove the entrails and place the carcasses in a saucepan with cold water for an hour. Mix salt, sugar, pepper and chopped bay leaf. Remove the fish from the water, remove excess moisture with a paper towel and rub with the resulting mixture inside and out, wrap in cling film and leave at room temperature for one and a half to two hours. Clean the finished herring from excess salt, cut into pieces and mix with chopped onion and vegetable oil.

Another method of dry salting, but it will make you wait longer for the results

Dry salting of herring whole carcass

Ingredients:
1 whole herring,
1 tbsp. coarse salt,
1 tsp Sahara,
½ tsp. ground black pepper.

Preparation:
If you want to salt more herring, increase the amount of spices accordingly. Remove only the gills from thawed fish. There is no need to cut off the head and gut it. Rinse the carcass and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the fish with the curing mixture, add salt to the places where the gills were. Wrap the carcass in several layers of cling film and place in the refrigerator for two days.

Classic recipe for pickling in brine

Ingredients:
2 fresh frozen herrings,
1 liter of clean water,
200 g rock salt,
1 tbsp. Sahara.

Preparation:
Thaw the fish in the refrigerator, remove the gills and rinse. Prepare the brine: dissolve salt and sugar in hot water, bring to a boil and cool. Important - the fish and brine must be at the same temperature. Place the fish in a glass or enamel bowl, fill with brine, cover with a plate and set pressure. Keep the dish with fish at room temperature for a couple of hours and then put it in the refrigerator. If you like lightly salted herring, soak the fish in brine for a couple of days, if you like a more pronounced taste, salt the herring for 3-4 days.

This recipe can be modified and the herring cooked in a spicy brine.

Spiced herring

Ingredients:
2 large herrings,
1 liter of clean water,
3 tbsp. with a pile of rock salt,
1.5-2 tsp. Sahara,

Cool the brine to room temperature and pour over the fish. Set the pressure, leave it on the table for an hour, then put it in the refrigerator. After two days the fish is ready. Can be stored for no more than a week.

Salting herring in spicy brine with mustard

1 kg fresh frozen herring,
1 liter of water,
4 tbsp. salt,
5 black peppercorns,
4 buds of cloves,
2 bay leaves,
1 tsp coriander seeds,
1 tsp dry mustard.

Preparation:
Place the prepared fish in a salting container. For this type of salting, the fish must be gutted. Dissolve salt in water, add all spices except mustard and boil. Let simmer for a couple of minutes, add mustard and remove from heat. Pour the cooled brine over the fish and put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Herring in a jar

Ingredients:
2 fresh frozen herrings,
1 onion head,
1 tbsp. salt,
1 tbsp. vegetable oil,
500 ml water.

Preparation:
Thaw the fish, gut it, remove the fins and cut into pieces. Cut the onion into half rings. Place the herring pieces in a jar, topping with onions.

Then put it in the refrigerator for another day.

2-4 herring carcasses,
2 tbsp. coarse salt,
1 tbsp. Sahara,
4-6 pcs. bay leaf,
10-15 peas of allspice,

Place the fish fillets in a deep glass or plastic bowl, arranging them with lemon slices and sprinkling them with salt, sugar and spices. Cover with a small plate, set pressure and place in the refrigerator for a day. Then transfer the lower layers of fillet to the top, and place the upper ones on the bottom, put them under pressure again and keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

These are just a few options for how to pickle herring. The salted herring should be served by arranging the pieces on a platter, topped with thin onion rings (preferably red or blue), transparent lemon slices and sprinkled with herbs. Instead of lemon, you can take vinegar and lightly sprinkle the herring with it. All that remains is to boil the potatoes, cut some black bread, put a fat slice of herring on it... Mmm...

The taste of the herring depends on your choice.

Fresh herring are identified by their red gills and light, protruding, shiny eyes. There are cases when the fish is not the freshest. The head is removed so that it is not noticeable that the fish is spoiled. Be careful when choosing and purchasing such herring.
Avoid buying herring that has been frozen and thawed several times.

Secrets of preparing delicious pickled herring at home

It is believed that the best herring for pickling is oceanic. Other types of herring live in more polluted waters and are less valuable. Herring can be either chilled or frozen.

You need to pay attention to what to keep the fish young.
A good, fresh herring has a silvery tint and bulging light-colored eyes. The fins and gills are pressed tightly against the body.

If you buy herring, it is better to buy it with the head. Always choose large fish that are not damaged. The big ones are mostly “boys”. If you compare the gender of herring based on taste, choose the “girls”. The meat of “girls” herring is more tender, tastier, and lighter in color. Herring caught in winter is fattier.

The surest way to defrost is at room temperature, or at the bottom of the refrigerator. The herring should defrost naturally.
The process of salting herring can be different. You can salt whole fish without removing the insides. But then the head of the fish is not separated, we only remove the gills. The gills produce bitterness at the time of salting.

When you have cleaned the fish, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the herring with clean, cold water. There are many options for salting herring; you can salt it either whole or in pieces. It is possible to cook with the skin and bones, or, on the contrary, to clean everything. Usually whole, cleaned fish is kept for 30 minutes to one hour, placed in cold water.
This makes the herring juicy.
It is not recommended to salt herring with iodized salt.

When you use dry pickling, use food bags and film.

You cannot keep fish at room temperature for a long time.
It should be stored in the refrigerator.

The most delicious herring is considered to be the one that is salted whole, not gutted. This herring should be salted for 3 days.
Such herring can be stored in this brine for about a week.

For those who do not want to wait a long time for salting, they can clean the fish into fillets, cut into pieces and salt. With similar options, pickling in pieces will be ready in two to three hours.

When you have uneaten herring, we recommend taking it out of the brine, cutting it into pieces, putting it in a container and pouring oil on it.

At the moment when you have added a lot of salt, as an option, it is recommended to soak the fish in cold milk, placing the fish in the milk for two hours. The milk will remove excess salt, and the fish will become delicious again.

How and with what to serve lightly salted herring

When serving herring on the table, it naturally needs to be cleaned.

You understand how ugly a bony, untreated herring will look. I am sure that your guests will not like it, they will appreciate what kind of hostess you are.

Processing herring is not difficult if you know the basic methods.
We make a cut on the back of the fish, take the corner of the skin and pull it together.
Thus, peeling the skin off the herring is quite simple.
Bones with a ridge are also easy to remove. I think you can easily cope with this.

Hello HoHu blog readers. Thank you for following my story on this blog from day one. And last time, (the very first article). Time passes, the house is being built, and this month we have a holiday - 10 years of marriage from our wedding day. We will celebrate the holiday at home, at home, since our youngest daughter is 1.7 years old, and we didn’t want to leave her to celebrate somewhere in a restaurant or other place.

Here's the result:

On a note! Do you want the fastest way to pickle herring, literally 5 hours before guests arrive? It’s simple - cut fresh fish into pieces 2 times smaller than in the photo (you can have the same ones, just a little more salt). You will get pieces of 0.7 mm. And then we just take a few pinches of salt and sprinkle generously over the entire surface of the slices. The salt should be visible! Then we cut the greens and onions on top. In this case, it is advisable to spread the onion rings over the entire plate on the fish. This will make the brine softer. Some will be taken by fish, some by onions. You will get lightly salted herring. And put it in the refrigerator. 5 hours and done! To serve, you can grease with sunflower oil. The fish is already salted. And below, I’ll show you the ideal method in brine, and it turns out much tastier. I call it a combined method with dry...

And by the way, the New Year holiday is coming up, and you will also be salting herring at home... And so that you don’t have to search on the Internet, different recipes, all the best salting recipes, are waiting below...

The very first recipe will be exclusively mine, and the photo is specifically for this blog. And other recipes have also been tested, but stolen from the Internet so as not to be repeated again. Excuse me))

Well, my dears... Shall we begin?

Here they are beautiful, waiting for me to put them in a jar and fill them with the secret brine. There are 2 days left before the holiday, and for the event you will get lightly salted herring, with a hint of spice. In many ways, the taste will depend on the fish itself; in the photo below it is fresh, and even an autumn catch - that’s it! Whole salted Olyutor herring cannot be compared with any store-bought herring.

Friends and relatives have repeatedly praised this recipe and asked for exact proportions. It turns out very tasty...

And today, I reveal my secret... Get ready to find out!)

On the table there is:

  • 4 herrings
  • salt - 3 heaped tablespoons
  • sugar - 1 tablespoon with a slide
  • peppercorns - 7-10 pieces
  • bay leaf - 3 medium leaves.
  • mixture of peppers - any to taste (teaspoon).
  • 3 carnations

Cooking time: 2 days for whole fish. Or 1 day if the fish is immediately gutted and cut into large pieces - 5-7 cm. Or 5 hours - the quick method is described at the very beginning. But that's if you're really in a hurry! I have time before the holiday, so I salt the whole fish.

First of all, rinse the fish under running water, and then...

Cooking dishes- 3 liter jar, and 3 liters of water for brine, which we pour into the pan.

You can immediately pour all the ingredients into the pan or take your time and choose the flavor note for yourself. If you make a little mistake with the salt, nothing bad will happen. Oversalting usually occurs when the fish is in an aggressive brine for a long time (for example, 5 days). We have 2 days to do everything about everything. Therefore, when you mix water with salt and sugar, you can first try the brine. It should not be lightly salted, but rather aggressive. So that the emotional sensation is as salty as it is sour from the lemon. The tongue is slightly cramped - that means it’s just right! If you don't want to try, that's okay. Stick to the proportions - everything will work out!

Great! The brine turns out just right, you can safely modify it with the rest of the ingredients. The input is cloves, pepper, and bay leaf. If you have 2-3 peas of allspice, then please throw in - it will add flavor. In my case, the brine turns out to be spicy, but not cloying, as happens in other recipes. Bay leaf and 3 cloves do their job. There is no need for fanaticism with seasonings. They only emphasize the taste of the fish.

Simply put, the classic recipe looks like it has no seasonings at all. Only salt and sugar - in proportions - 3 to 1 (3 salts and 1 sugar), this is if the fish is made in brine. And if you salt using the dry method, I recommend a ratio of 2 to 1 (2 salts and 1 sugar).

Below is a photo if you want to salt according to the classic recipe, without seasonings and spices:

Both the first and second methods are great for a holiday salad - Herring under a Fur Coat(for the New Year), and for a snack in the form of - sandwiches with black bread, a piece of herring, butter, and herbs. Or maybe a version of chopped fish dressed with butter and chopped onion rings - under round potatoes. Real jam!

Well, we have a lot of time, and 2 days before the holiday, we have time to salt the whole aromatic fish in a jar.

We urgently need brine! To make the brine saturated and uniform, and also to kill all sorts of microorganisms, bring the brine to a boil, and boil for about 5-7 minutes.

Do not pour hot brine over the fish. The brine should cool to room temperature... The weather outside my window is already almost minus, and I put it on the porch, and in 1 hour it cooled down. In between, I drank some tea and put the fish in a jar.

Here they are beauties, ponytails on top. But they don't bother us at all. After all, the fish was initially selected to match the height of the jar by eye. If 4 pieces were large, then the head or tail would have to be removed.

An hour passed and the brine cooled. Fill it into the jar to the brim, and carefully hide the tails in the brine...

One fish even blinked, saying that The brine is ok!)) It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to take a photo in time, and the photo came out with my eye open:

In fact, this is a quick way of salting, because we don’t clean the fish, but immediately place it in a jar, and most of the time is spent cooling the brine. Literally 1 hour and you're done!

The fish itself will be ready in 2 days. But believe me, this is a good time to cook fish quickly if you cook it whole. There are several more ways to quickly salt herring. But all of them require mandatory cutting of fish, and cutting into pieces or fillets. In simple words, the smaller the piece, the faster it salts out when surrounded by salt. But more on that later... Below I'll show you a few other recipes you can use!

Please note that the brine in the jar turned out to be a rich brown color. Close the jar and put it in the refrigerator. If it's cool outside, you can go there!

All that remains is to show a photo of the finished dish and how we put it on plates. Wow, the holiday is coming! Hurry up...

24 hours passed, and I decided to cut it right away, and if the pieces were not salty enough, I could add some salt on top and put them in the refrigerator. Looking ahead, I will say that I did just that. And in fact, you can always do this. Just don’t have to serve it on plates, but you can cut the herring with onions and butter in a 1-liter jar. And of course add salt. It will turn out even tastier and more aromatic! I had to have time to prepare everything for the festive table, and the second option definitely wouldn’t have worked, because they planned to simply lay out the herring on plates.

Let's see the process...

We took out a jar of salted fish. She stood in a cool place (a must!). And then, let’s start cutting the herring in one motion:

How to quickly and correctly cut herring from the bones?

First of all, prepare a board (I have separate plastic cutting boards for fish, they are cheap, I recommend similar ones). And a bag where we will put away the excess... All sorts of crap))

I called my beloved to cut the bones of the herring to make fillets. She does it better... But I described the whole process below:

We did this - we opened the abdomen and took out the caviar. It is recommended to rinse the caviar under running water.

By the way! You didn't notice, but this is exactly the fish that blinked. She ended up with caviar. Female! Logical)

The rest of the males... We cut off the head, tail and fins of all of them. After which, we wash the fish to remove all the blackness from the belly (otherwise it may give a bitter taste, and of course this is not aesthetically pleasing).

By the way. In the video on the Internet, you can find a quick way to cut herring. But I think it’s not so relevant for the home, because it can stain the walls and more. Its essence is that the tail is not removed, but is cut, and a cut is made along the back... Then, holding the fish by the tail, we scroll it along the axis. In general, I probably won’t explain this in words, but it’s better to show it separately. Simply put, we decided to cut the herring according to a simple tradition, as most people do.

Here's how it's done:

After cutting along the back, we get left and right skin. It is not difficult to guess that it can be easily removed with a simple movement of the hands. You can cut it slightly with a knife, so we have it at hand...

Depending on how carefully the skin is removed, you will get an even fillet. And this will affect the quality of the cutting. Also, if suddenly the herring is too salty, or is old and large in size, it may turn out that the filleting will not be accurate. We have the perfect fresh option!

It’s still good that I didn’t entrust this matter to myself. It definitely wouldn’t work out neatly on a fillet. I prefer to cut the herring for potatoes, in large pieces right with the bones. Everything is simple there))

Great! Now, using the previously made cut, we get to the ridge, and carefully separate it with the bones from the left side of the fillet (or right). As the photo below shows:

I know I know. This process is a little tedious, but bear with it. Everything will be fine! You will also succeed...

You'll get something like this. We take out the remaining bones with tweezers. The most important thing is that our fillet pieces turned out neat. This is exactly the option that is perfect for slicing at the holiday table. And if you are planning to cook herring for the New Year, this is it! And in case the fillet is not beautiful, you can cut it into cubes for salad - herring under a fur coat.

In theory, the cutting process is complete!

Let's start cutting:

Carefully place on plates. In my case, they are flat in the shape of a fish and petals. The caviar was placed in the middle, and the pieces along the edges. Here's what happened:

Please note that I do not chop the onions or herbs right away. Because the fish still has 24 hours to stand. First I just taste it and, as planned, add a little salt on top, literally a pinch of salt. If you keep the fish in a jar for 2 days, then you won’t have to salt anything. It's a matter of taste here. It was salted within a day, but I wanted more of a salty taste...

The first photo turned out like this:

The next day, literally 5 hours before the guests arrive, I cut the lemon, onion and herbs.

By the way! Do you want the fastest way to salt fish, literally in 5 hours? It is simple - cut fresh fish into pieces 2 times smaller than in the photo. You will get pieces of 0.7 mm. And then just take a teaspoon of salt and sprinkle generously over the entire surface of the slices. The salt should be visible! Then we cut the greens and onions on top. In this case, it is advisable to spread the onion rings over the entire plate on the fish. This will make the brine softer. Some will be taken by fish, some by onions. You will get lightly salted herring. And put it in the refrigerator. 5 hours and done!

In my case, the fish is salted more evenly in the brine, and the result is simply ideal. By the way, as you understand, I combine it with quick salting. Isn't it lovely...

Please come to the table, my dears!

And you know, I thought that you are capable of pickling not only according to my recipe, but also others. And so, on occasion, I selected several proven recipes that I picked up from my students’ blogs.

Salting herring in pieces is not only tasty, but also quick!

To marinate fish you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 pieces of onions.

Step-by-step preparation:

While the brine is being prepared, the herring needs to be thawed. Pour the required amount of water into an enamel container, add salt, sugar and vinegar.

Place the pan on the fire. The main thing is that the liquid does not have time to boil. As soon as the salt and sugar dissolve in the water, the container must be removed from the stove.

The fish must be cut, bones removed, and then cut into small pieces.

The last ingredient for preparing the marinade is onion. It must be cut into small half rings.

Place several layers in a glass jar, in the following order: fish, chopped onion, coriander, pepper.

The jar of herring should be stored in a dark place at room temperature. To add new flavor notes, you can add a small amount of vegetable oil to the brine.
