Hi Don,

Take a look at my recent posting about making pickled herrings: http://www.taikinapoika.com/2006/12/17/glass-master’s-herring-pickled-herring-with-spices/

Albeit I used pre-canned herrings, you can very well use fresh ones as the pickling liquid is suitable for fresh herrings also.

All of the recipes I find on line are the more Americanized versions of pickled herring, which is not nearly as tasty as the wonderful kinds you can buy in every grocery store in Finland. I know that the process is not difficult, but I think it's all in knowing the correct proportions of vinegar to sugar, as well as thy type of vinegar and the spices used. I would greatly appreciate any help you might have in bringing a bit if Finland into my kitchen.

Many restaurants offer various, self made spiced and pickled herrings in their lunch buffets, but way too often I’ve found them to be slimy rather than delicious.

Every xmas mom makes a huge batch of rosolli (herring salad with beets, onion, pickles, apple, carrots and whipped cream), and I almost vomit when I see the salted, whole herring fillets. I couldn't imagine a xmas meal without the rosolli however, and the finished product is super, super good. Just to reassure the other, unprejudiced readers: Abba marinated herrings are super good, 100% boneless bite-sized pieces, and can be eaten straight from the jar! BTW, I got your point, and added the missing 'second' =) Pille - I hear you loud and clear - herring fillets that need cleaning are totally gross and disgusting!
