Anyone like it? I do too well. I wish I could buy fresh herring.

I had an afternoon snack of it yesterday. Small plate of pickled herring and pickled beets. Good stuff. Just wish they put more onions in the herring than they do.

Love it. Only thing available locally is Lasco brand.
I get the sour cream type.

I have a jar of both LSEN and Vitro right now. Both are in wine sauce.
Never seen a sour cream sauce around here. But I would sure try them! Sounds good.

That is one thing that I have never been able to bring myself to try; I'm not sure why.

Have made it but never was satisfied with what I made. I really do like it!

I could eat a jar full of the stuff but only if I had a quart of pepto bismol standing ready for afterward.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Eat it all the time. My Swedish heritage I guess. Love potato Sausage too, just can't find it down south.

In the upper midwest/plains states, where a lot of Swedes Norwegians, Danes settled, every salad bar in about every restaurant had pickled herring and pickled beets on it. I love a couple on a salad, but it's not something I'd want to set down and eat a 1/2lb of. Pickled beets are the same thing, besides making your piss look like you've taken a few too many body shots from Mike Tyson, they're delicious on a salad, but not as a main course.

There is no canning in pickled herring, but you are right. Not a lot of care taken in regard to presentation. My biggest trouble pickling herring is getting the salted fish back from the edge of way too salty...

My parents had a family friend that used to make it. I have his recipe hand written on an envelope. I should try it.

I've enjoyed some Roll Mop herring before. It's wrapped around a pickle.

Walmart carries it here. Wine sauce. We like it on saltines with a dab of horse radish.

I prefer the homestyle version but can only buy the fancy style from Vita locally. Costco was selling the fancy style from Blue Hill Bay but I haven't seen it in months.
I don't recall ever eating fresh herring. I was surprised by how many families I saw fishing for herring in AK. I thought they were catching them for bait but everyone I talked to said that they eat them.

My family always had herring of one kind or another at the house, homemade rollmops either in sweet wine sauce or sour cream, plus your standard chunked in wine sauce with lots of onions. Aunt Alma made Brat Herring, fried then pickled. In Amsterdam I'd get raw herring fillets for lunch with a salad and homemade bread.
I us brought home a bag of carp fillets for pickling. I was out shooting carp on the river.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

That is one thing that I have never been able to bring myself to try; I'm not sure why. Maybe because it looks like, smells like and tastes like shad sides for catching catfish.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I’m very fond of the ‘Vita’ Wild Herring in Wine Sauce. Delicious with the onions and whatever else they put in it. I go thru a jar a month. Think I’ll have a couple pieces right now.

+1 on the Rye Crisp crackers with herring, I like both the wine sauce and the sour cream versions.
