    scandinavian classic ;-)Anonymous revieweralways buy these for xmas - must have part of a danish xmas lunch table - mine go into a ketchup+sugar+liquid from jar+sherry marinade for "røde sild" for about 24 hours and is then topped with chopped red onions & capers when serving - eat on ryebread and drink icecold snaps (or vodka) and beer along side - absolute perfection ;-)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.
