Perfect for a Scandinavian breakfastSergeiNot much to add to the title. This is my favorite flavor: with a light touch of warm spices5
Sill LoversPeterSo good to find Ikea has Sill Matjes in stock all the time. I grew up on Sill. A delight that my Father home made from his Danish background. but commercialy it became harder and harder to find anywhere that sold it. Thank you Ikea5

Great value and best taste SaaraBeautiful tasty creamy anchovy spiced herring, bite sized for instant snacking or appetiser plates..yum and good value5
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.

Form design process
