Bought a lb of salted herring. Cold smoked for 6 hours then into pickle with onions, bay leaf, peppercorns, 50/50 water to vinegar and 1/3cup of sugar! **After smoking I soaked in water for 4 hours to get rid of the salt content and any excess smoke/bitterness.
I’ve had lots of pickled, lots of salted and smoked, but never pickled AND smoked.
Been pickling for about 14 hours and my oh my what a flavour profile so far. Tart, Smokey and sweet.

Have you had sweet herring before? I have not tried it, I suppose it is a white fish so it would probably be good, take on whatever flavors it is paired with
It’s ok, I think it’s dead and you can eat it😂 But seriously, I’m sure it’s yum!
My god… that sounds delicious
