Herrings

[bagpuss]

Hi All

I have been given some fresh herrings, which I have put in the freezer for the moment.

Does anyone have any recipe ideas. I would quite like to perhaps try doing something with them on the BBQ.

I'm not a particularly fussy eater, so any ideas very welcome.

Many thanks.

The first dish I cooked at school was for Herring - we had to gut them too and chop off their heads - they were rolled in breadcrumbs and think fried

I have all my school books so will look it out later and post it

They are supposed to be so so good for you and not all supermarkets sell them - in short supply they say whenever I ask

Here it is

Assuming herring has been scaled, head and tail cut off and insides taken out ;D
Ingredients
2 herrings
1 tabs oats
4 oz cooking fat/oil

Roll them in the oats and fry 5 mins each side until golden brown

So simple, so nourishing ;D

So rare!!

My OH's fav fish. I saw some the other day on the slab but they just didn't look, well, fresh I guess. The sort of fish to buy straight off the boat, in Cornwall, on a sunny afternoon with a beach fire going.......

They would taste much better in the open air too
