How to marinate herring with mustard? Prepare all indicated ingredients. I'll be preparing an abridged version of one herring. It is better to take fresh fish, but if there is no such possibility, then the frozen herring must first be thawed, leaving on the table at room temperature.

Wash and dry the thawed fish. Cut off the head and tail, get rid of the insides. Then separate the fillet from the ridge, remove the bones and skin. Place the peeled herring fillet in a deep bowl. The fillet is first placed whole (I cut for convenience into two parts), and then we will cut into pieces.

Pour a liter of water over the prepared fish fillet, add a tablespoon of salt, mix. Salted brine should cover all fish. Leave the herring in this brine for about 2 hours. I cleaned the fish in the brine in the fridge.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 types of mustard, sugar, vegetable oil and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. When two hours have passed, drain the brine from the fish and cut it into small pieces, which will be convenient to take, for example, with a fork.

Pour the herring over the cooked dressing, toss everything. Put the fish in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours to marinate. The marinade should cover all the fish so that each piece is well minced. After the specified time, the herring will be ready.

Serve the ready-made herring in mustard cold - this is a snack that is perfect for potatoes made in any way. However, it is worth recalling that herring in mustard is not subject to long storage, in order to avoid trouble, such a dish should be consumed as soon as possible.
