The Best Pickled Herring Recipe. It’s Not Just Bait!!

[@sctowey5]

Saved this one for last. Just finished binge watching all your videos. Can’t wait for more

[@CookingWithClams]

Awesome man! i LOVE this episode. We are going to drop an episode a week. Stay tuned!!

[@ankiolebring8388]

Yummy 😋 As a Swede I do love herring and we have a standard pickeling brine called”123 brine” - 1 part vinegar (or ättika, very strong and acidic ),2 parts sugar and 3parts water - all boiled together and cooled - onions and spices of choice all go together in a jar with the already salted herring for a minimum of 24 hours in the refrigerator 😋✌🏽

[@CookingWithClams]

Yes! How did I do??

[@ankiolebring8388]

@@CookingWithClams Best one so far, really mouths watering but a WEEKs preparation- in my way it’s done in 45 min 🥳

[@josesolana311]

Looks delicious. Very good recipe.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you, If you make it let me know how they turn out!

[@thomascarbone2487]

Awesome video!

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you! I’m hoping each video gets better

My grandpa always had a jar in the fridge, one of my favorite snacks as a kid

[@CookingWithClams]

It was and is one of my moms absolute favorites

[@billturner1960]

Wow man,,,what a great video! Very informative and you and your camera mom deserve accolades. Great job and I picked up alot watching this one! You should try some pickled prawns or large shrimp next time you're in KW!!! Another one of my favorite pickled seafood. Love the idea of putting some orange peel or zest into the pickling solution,,,, I'm thinking that would be awesome. Thank you again and you folks please keep up the great work! Best!! 😎👍

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you bill!!

[@CookingWithClams]

Pickled shrimp is an amazing idea

[@FrankM812]

You’re not from NY or NJ if your family didn’t have that Tupperware marinade container growing up. That brings back memories

[@CookingWithClams]

Hahaha right? The pot roast marinade Tupperware

[@FrankM812]

@@CookingWithClams that and probably every London broil i ate before i turned 18 😂

[@jballerrr93]

Hell we had those in Oregon

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@CookingWithClams]

Thanks for watching some older ones!

[@steveperry9304]

Found the herring video!! Lol Man, does this bring back some memories! I sure don’t miss the snow and cold though! 😜 Fishing is fishing, so obviously catching isn’t guaranteed, but although I grew up in NJ, I used to fish in countless places for herring, and the absolute best spot I ever fished was Hudson Park in New Rochelle. You didn’t seem to be all too far from there. Next time you’re up that way and are having some difficulty finding the herring, maybe check that spot out. 👍

[@CookingWithClams]

I’m trying now!!!

[@Benny.13]

Nice job buddy

[@CookingWithClams]

Thank you!

[@k2mdk]

Great video I will have to remember this when they are around my area (early spring). I must admid it made me think about how else could I get a hold of some raw herring. Wondering how well this would work with other fish. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@CookingWithClams]

Depends where you are, you could use smaller bluefish or Spanish mackerel . Something with a bit of oil content

[@robertrodgers1423]

Nice. I love the flavor of pickled herring but don't know any recipes to pair it with. Suggestions?

[@CookingWithClams]

I’ve really only ever eaten it a snack. Never with anything else. Would be a great addition to a charcuterie board

[@andersondavis7170]

great video . I would try one if it was offered but way out of my comfort zone

[@CookingWithClams]

I think it would surprise you!

[@FVMissPaula]

Here in MD the season is closed on Herring and Shad. Grilled Shad is amazing. My grandmother was Norwegian and passed the love of Pickled Herring on to me. What is your Mom's background?

[@CookingWithClams]

She’s Italian and German but grew up in Brooklyn around a lot of German Russian and Jewish neighbors who made pickled herring

[@simpleman3473]

Belated Christmas Greetings

[@CookingWithClams]

Hopefully I’ll get herring this season

[@morehn]

I'm Jewish and die for this stuff. Yes, obviously from Brooklyn. Have you ever pickled pilchards? I get them frozen from Restaurant Depot but can't find fresh herring anywhere. I'd love to catch them one day.

[@CookingWithClams]

If you’re near greenpoint you can call greenpoint fish and lobster co and see if they have any. Might be too late in the season though.

[@morehn]

@@CookingWithClams that would be awesome. What's the ideal season to catch them? I live on the way upstate in Rockland County now, so I was wondering, do you know of anything up there? Any other suitable fish to pickle?

[@willsnills2998]

Herring run December to March in ny. Sometimes later. Boston mackerel or Spanish mackerel would also work beautifully

[@morehn]

@@willsnills2998 thanks so much. I'll see where I can get my hands on those.

[@steveperry9304]

For people closer to freshwater, I’ve heard of people pickling pickerel or pike. I’ve never tried it, but should be good.

[@adamkice7045]

Fish. Keep on fishing.

[@CookingWithClams]

Hopefully never stop

[@1359Mamali]

Hi. Can I use haddock instead of herrings! Thank you

[@CookingWithClams]

Haddock is like cod and pollock, not sure how it would come out. Are there Boston or Atlantic mackerel available?

[@1359Mamali]

@@CookingWithClams we have mackerel also. TBH I really wanted to know if anyone has tried making a pickle fish out of haddock and how will it turn out as I have them freshly delivered to me everyday so I thought I’d ask. Appreciate the reply 👍🏼

[@CookingWithClams]

@@1359Mamali there is a South African recipe someone just sent me for pickled fish. My only fear would be that the haddock would flake apart

[@1359Mamali]

@@CookingWithClams hey buddy. Just wanted to share with you that I have attempted to make it with haddock and you were right about it as all the flaks were in part ms and was a total disaster. At least it’s was another experience. Keep up with your good food and videos. All the best.

[@jonlewis6630]

Nope!!! There are some things better left uneaten.

[@CookingWithClams]

I think I could convince you otherwise!

[@davidbeirer6423]

Your story was too long. I just wanted the recipe it sucked.

[@CookingWithClams]

We should hang out, you seem nice

that is, rollmops came out (a popular form of herring in Poland
