Herring under a fur coat is firmly entrenched in the festive menu of many generations. My friend, who had gone far and long ago, during her short visits to her historic homeland, orders only herring under a fur coat with black bread, without looking at what her taste preferences will find too simple. I propose to diversify our classic salad with home-made salted herring, and turn the “fur coat” itself into a roll, which not only saves space in the refrigerator before the holiday, but also allows you to add some variety to the table setting.
Home-made herring is prepared very quickly, but it can take at least 3 days before it can be used to make appetizers.
- Preparation time: 30 minutes

Salted herring. Choose a large herring with no signs of "rust". For the marinade, you need coarse salt, sugar, apple or grape vinegar, a few leaves of laurel, 6-7 black peppercorns and a few carnations.
We make a deep incision on the belly of the herring, reach the inside, remove the skin, cut off the head, remove the ridge. We put in the jar washed fillet, caviar and milk.
Making marinade. In a small amount of boiling water dissolve salt, sugar, add spices. Bring marinade to a boil, remove from heat, pour in apple or grape vinegar. Cool marinade pour herring. Marinade must be cold, otherwise the fish will cook, its flesh will become loose! We remove salted herring in the refrigerator for three days.
