    DeliciousLeilaI love the flavour of these herrings. Take me back to my childhood. I love to eat them on rye bread or crisp bread. Really delicious if you add some sliced boiled egg and finely sliced red onion as well on the rye bread. 5
    Sill MatjesRobertJust like the sild in Denmark5
    Too sweetShuhuaBetter eat it with crackers or anything that can reduce the sweetness from the fish.4
    These pickled herrings are ESSENTIAL for Scandinavians AND many East Asians also love them. MichelThere is nothing that I can say. You have to taste them to find out why this flavour appeals so much to Scandinavians and Japanese, and also to Chinese and Vietnamese. Other fantastic Swedish pickled seafoods are KAVIAR - but IKEA was out of stock at my last visit- and ANSJOVIS - which IKEA doesn’t stock at all in Adelaide. 5
    Food at IkeaAnnIkea is still selling matjes sill, a Swedish icon, to the big Swedish population of Perth and it is a good one. Sadly most other Swedish food icons have disappeared from the ever shrinking shelves. Such as the kaviar, prawns with shell still on and the self help lolly wall. 5

    Function solution

    Herring in a flavourful marinade

    Matjes is a traditional kind of herring that is eaten all year round. The fish is matured in barrels, filleted and stored in a marinade made from a special recipe – before being packaged and sold as herring fillets. Our SILL MATJES is great as an appetiser or as a light meal together with classic Swedish sides like boiled potatoes, sour cream and chives. Or simply on rye or crispbread with sliced egg.

    Herring for festive and everyday meals

    For Christmas, Easter and the traditional Midsummer celebration, different kinds of marinated herring are a must on Swedish dining tables – but Swedes like herring other times too. Marinating herring in salt and vinegar and adding various ingredients and spices is a way to preserve and flavour the fish. Some popular marinades are onions, dill, mustard, garlic and caviar. Serve our MSC-certified SILL with boiled potatoes, sour cream and chives – for festive and everyday meals.
