Recipe Notes
Smoked herring is very salty. You should soak it in water prior to cooking it, to reduce the amount of sodium. You may have to dump the water twice during the process if you’re on a low-sodium diet. You can use either of the methods mentioned below.
Soak the fish for 2 hours or boil it twice in a quart of water for 10 min each and rinse with cold water.
Preferably wear gloves, the smoked fish smell is very hard to get rid off.
