directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F Spray baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Bring the milk to a boil and add roe. Simmer for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the milk. Finely chop the roe and reserve.
  • Open the fish out on a board, inner side down and press lightly down the middle to loosen the backbone. The backbone should be pulled away gently. Discard. Turn herrings over.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, onion and the reserved roe. Spread mixture on the opened herrings. Fold together and lay, folded, in baking dish.
  • Cover and bake for 20 minutes until tender.
  • While the herrings bake, combine butter, flour and reserved milk in a saucepan. Whisk together until smooth. Heat, whisking constantly, over medium heat, until sauce thickens and boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, making sure sauce does not burn.
  • Stir in the mustard and vinegar and serve alongside the herrings.
  • If English mustard is unavailable, use any mustard with a definite "bite" to offset the oiliness of the flesh.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

As you can see, I've been on "Zaar quite a while now, and have reviewed quite a few recipes. Just like everyone else who's been around for a while, my rating system has undergone a change. *****Rocked my socks off. Won't change a thing! ****A good solid recipe. Enjoyed it. Might need a small change for personal preferences. ***Needs some help. Might be an operator error, but can't make it work. As all the recipes I choose are chosen because of the ingredients that we like, I will not give less than ***. And, please, keep in mind that this is only my personal opinion. Someone else might think it is wonderful and give *****. So keep posting! BTW, if I forget to thank you for taking the time to prepare one of my recipes, it is unintentional! My biggest passion is my reading. I can't go to bed at night until I have read something, even if its the back of a bag of potato chips! But that ain't gonna happen. I have over 300 books in my bedroom book shelves, and we have even more in the rest of the house! <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5025-white.swf?TimeZone=MST&" width="180" height="180" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> ACTIVITIES & SUCH: <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Herb1BaySTKR.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/snow-queens-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>What a round!
