[@michimastropiero2940]

I came to know jarred herring recently and liked it so I was looking to make it at home. Thanks for the vid, very clear and easy to follow. Looks yummy!!

Thanks. If you end up making it yourself, share your experience!

I get mine from sainsbury's ha..I'm english and absolutely love them, you can get rollmop aswell which is the same thing. Pair with potato salad and some buttery bread for an amazing lunch.

So pleasantly surprising to learn that people from other countries know and enjoy these!

Weird they are pronounced fill-itts, in the US we pronounce Fill-Eh

[@FermXpert]

If I mispronounced something, I apologise for the mistake. I am not a native English speaker. It could also be that there are regional variations, say, between British and American pronunciation. I sometimes mix these up too so if my pronunciation is inconsistent, that's again due to not being a native speaker. Thank you for your observation though!

[@VintageSlates]

Yea we say fill-itts in the uk.. the only thing we call fill-eh is a fill-eh o fish from mcdonalds ha. But as my dad grew up in Canada sometimes I get afew things wrong myself ha.

Bay leaves and all spice should be in the jar as well, salt also needed to counteract sugar😊

[@FermXpert]

While I understand your tips stem from how the dish is prepared traditionally, I beg to differ. Boiling the bay leaves and allspice with your brine already extracts most of their aroma. Leaving them in the jar has negligible effects, if any. On the other hand, they're a nuisance during plating. As far as salt goes, you're absolutely correct. Note however that the herring fillets you buy are usually already salted. When adding salt, be sure not to overdo it :)

I keep on hearing (or is that herring) Oldspice and Baileys.

[@FermXpert]

Don't drink & ride horses backwards, children ;)

How long will this keep in the jar before it is opened?

[@FermXpert]

It takes a day or a maximum of two to become ready to eat. If you put the jar in the fridge, it will keep for a few days, say three or four. Outside of the fridge, If say two days. It's not that it goes bad; it doesn't. The issue is that the acetic acid makes the herring progressively softer until it gets too mushy to be considered pleasant to eat.

[@manardwidar8682]

Where is the salt, excuse me.

[@FermXpert]

In the pickling solution.
