Herring fillet in oil is a classic delicacy of Scandinavian cuisine. Tender pieces of fish are soaked in oil, giving them a soft texture and rich flavor. Ideal as a snack with black bread, in salads, or as a complement to boiled potatoes. A portion of 150 grams is a convenient size for a small company or personal stock. Herring in oil reveals the fullness of flavor due to the contrast of the salty fish meat and the soft, enveloping layer of oil.
