You could make a salted herring salad with some mayo, beets, dill, diced cooked potato, salt and pepper. It's popular dish in some European countries. You could make fish cakes, fish balls, deep fry them and serve them with some tartar sauce. There are many ways to use herring. Here are some cooking sites if you want more ideas.

Smoked Salted Herring

Answer 3

Well - you could make a herring salad out of it. Slice some mild onion thinly, cut the herring in bite sized pieces and toss it all with some red wine vinegar and pepper. You won't need salt. Let it marinate in the fridge for a day or so. That's really good. You eat it with a good rustic bread.

Also, look around on recipe sites for ideas.

www.epicurious.com is a good one.

Answer 4

Breaded salted herring! Yum!

Answer 5

Salted Herring is raw, not smoked. Just gutted, salted and frozen.

Just eat it. Like that with some diced raw union .

Also very nice with sliced or diced beet in yogurt. Sounds strange but very delicious.

Answer 6

dump into the trash can right away before you are tempted to eat the salty briny fish

Answer 7

you can preserve it in a jar . . a layer of herring, chopped scallions and black olives, a bit of olive oil and fresh pepper, then another layer of herring, scallions olives, and again, olive oil and pepper, and again layers until the jar is full . . refrigerate for a day or two and eat with cottage cheese on bread, or just like that, with a toothpick, it's quite delicious, and very very unique!!!
