PICKLED BISMARCK HERRINGS WITH BEETROOT SALAD/BISMARCK HERINGE MIT RUBEN SALAT
I think I watched my German Dad consume 1000,s of Bismarck Herrings over the years and naturally out of season he would buy them already Pickled, but it was fun seeing him turn the raw fresh fish when in season here into jarred and pickled ready to store under the stairs in the dark.
And so,I grew up eating them too,with fresh Broetchen probably once a week.
Todays Lunch was one such day,The Herrings with Fresh Steamed chopped Beetroot and fresh crisp healthy vegetables.
Of course this is my take on the salad,you will want to add your own choices
