Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 pickled herring fillets
3 large eggs
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs
Black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup diced cucumber

Steps:

  • Pat the herring very dry with paper towels.
  • Beat the eggs in a wide shallow bowl. In another bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and black pepper, to taste.
  • Pour the oil into a large frying pan, until it is 1 inch deep. Over medium heat, bring the oil to 375 degrees.
  • When the oil is hot, dip both sides of the herring in the egg and then the bread crumbs, making sure that it is entirely covered.
  • Carefully place the fillets in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and fry them for 45 seconds to a minute, until they are golden brown.
  • Drain and serve immediately, topped with a sprinkling of red onion, tomato and cucumber.
