In Russia traditional lightly salted seledka was always made whole in large quantities in wooden barrels, then cleaned, cut and served under sliced onions as a classical snack (“zakuska”) with vodka.
Here’s how to pickle fresh herring.This fish pickles in just 12- 24 hours and has a mellow flavor. Part of the trick of preparing herring is filleting the fish.
