How to make potato soup with salted herring: Peel the onions, carrots and celery root (or parsley), then wash thoroughly. Cut the vegetables into large cubes.

Rinse the carcass with cold water. Near the tail, carefully separate half of the fish fillet from the ridge. Then also separate the second fillet. Remove the bones. Cut the fillet into small pieces or straws.

Heat the pan with vegetable oil. Put carrots in hot oil. Stirring, fry the carrots over medium heat until soft (3-4 minutes).
