Today I have three in one. This note is not for experienced housewives. I’ll tell you a little about how to choose a herring, and I’ll tell you in detail how to clean it. And I’ll give you the simplest recipe for a completely royal dinner - herring in mustard sauce with hot potatoes, aromatic sunflower oil and onions.

How to choose lightly salted herring

I don’t like buying herring fillets in plastic containers or vacuum packaging. I once read that they almost soak it in formaldehyde to get rid of small bones. I prefer herring salted in barrels. In our beautiful country, such herring is sold in fish aisles, the most varied, from Atlantic and Ivasi to Don. You need to take a herring that is straight, plump, without damage to the skin or rusty spots. It should be very elastic and dense. If it has reddish eyes, then it is very lightly salted, very tasty, but I am afraid to buy one. I choose medium-salted herring, with whitish eyes, then soak it until lightly salted, and put the whole herring in cold water for a couple of hours. And look at the back! The wider the back, the fattier and tastier the herring.

And of course, such herring needs to be cleaned.

How to easily peel lightly salted herring from skin and entrails

In the meantime, I set the potatoes to boil. Everything is as usual, peel, if large, cut, put in cold water, bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). I don't add salt. If a knife or fork pierces the potato without effort, drain the water.


Boil potatoes without salt

I cover the entire table with cling film and cut the herring on thick paper. Cut off the head, cut the abdomen with a sharp knife and remove the entrails. Don't cut off the tail! Rinse the inside of the herring under running cold water.


Make an incision along the back of the fish, along the dorsal fin.


Gently pry up the skin at the cut and peel the skin off the herring. Here, in the photo you can see how round and fat she is.


Now take the herring by the tail with both hands and pull it in different directions. The herring will begin to separate into three parts - the lower two, with a cut along the abdomen, and the back.


Split the herring using the tail fin

Here's how it happened. The backbone remains.


Divide the dorsal part along an incision made near the fin, and remove the spine along with large bones. Now cut off the tail fins.


From one herring we got four neat fillets.


How to clean herring

All that remains is to cut each fillet, removing small bones along the way.
