How to salt a small herring quickly at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose a larger herring. This time I had an olutor. Well, if you come across & quot; boys & quot;. Vinegar I used 9%, you can add 1-3 tbsp. Also suitable is 3% vinegar, apple, grape or rice.

Peel the onion from the husks and cut into half rings, not very thin, somewhere 0, 4 cm.

Prepare the marinade. Place the chopped onions in a loose bowl. Add the sugar, salt, pepper to taste, pour in the vinegar and flavourless vegetable oil. Mix everything and leave to insist for 20-30 minutes.

I do not add water to the marinade, a good ray itself will let in enough juice.

Cut off your head. From the caudal fin from step about 0. 5 cm and make an incision on the abdomen. Clean the insides, rinse the fish under cool water and remove the remaining film from the abdomen. Dry the fish with a paper towel and make a shallow cut down the back, clipping the fin on both sides.

Remove the upper and caudal fins. Gently pick up and remove the skin. It's more convenient for me to start from the head, but you can also start from the tail, then cut the tail off. If the skin is removed poorly, then you can easily cut it with a knife. With high-quality, fresh fish, the skin is removed very easily.

Then remove the ridge. To do this, use your thumb to slide along the notch of the back, point the knife to help free the large bones, then easily pull the ridge. It will easily separate from the carcass. Also do with the other half of the fish. Carefully remove all bones using tweezers.

With a sharp knife, cut the fillets obliquely into pieces 1. 5-2 cm wide or larger, here it's a matter of taste.

In a jar (I have 0. 720ml), put the chopped fillet layer by layer, alternating with the pickled onions, and pour in 4-5 tbsp. vegetable oil. If you like pickled herring, then add all the marinade from the onion, then fill with oil to the top. Close the jar with the lid. Store the lightly salted herring in a jar in the fridge.

You can serve herring right away. It fits perfectly with potatoes in any version. As a snack, you can supplement herring with crisp cucumber, mushrooms, olives and olives. Serve on a large platter or in a herring. Enjoy your meal!
