If the herring flesh is loose, which happens when fresh fish is re-frozen, then a strong acidic solution will also help correct a minor defect. But such fish must be carefully examined - if there is a suspicious smell, it is better to throw it away.
If you bought too salty herring, wash it in cold water and soak it in fresh milk for half an hour or an hour, then rinse it again with plain water.
When choosing salted herring in the store, pay attention to the salty solution - it should not be cloudy or red. The carcass of fresh salted herring has a dense and elastic back: when you press it with your finger, there should be no dents left. The freshness of herring can be determined by looking at the gills - in fresh fish they have a reddish tint, not brown. The carcass of fresh salted herring has reddish eyes.
The larger the herring, the higher its fat content. The highest fat content is found in herring, which is found in colder waters. The best types of commercial herring contain up to 33% fat - a valuable source of essential amino acids.

Peel the herring, fillet it, remove small bones and cut into neat pieces. Save the milk or caviar. Boil the eggs hard and peel. Separate the yolk and thoroughly mash it with mustard, gradually adding 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Then add finely chopped capers, as well as chopped milk or caviar. Cut the baguette into slices, fry them in a frying pan on both sides with a small amount of vegetable oil. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Let cool. Brush the croutons with the resulting mixture and place 1-2 pieces of herring on each one. When serving, garnish with a sprig of dill.
Such a cold appetizer can easily be reclassified as a hot one by first keeping it for about five minutes in an oven preheated to 180ºC.
