salted herring
Cured sea catch
Salted herring is herring preserved by curing in salt, a method dating back centuries in Northern European coastal regions.
The fish are typically packed in brine or dry salt, which draws out moisture and prevents spoilage.
Salted herring remains a staple in Scandinavian, Dutch, and Eastern European cuisines, often soaked before eating to reduce saltiness: She rinsed the salted herring overnight before serving it with potatoes.
