Danish Rollmops

Description

There are so many variations and recipes for pickled herring, salted herring etc. This recipe has been an old standby for my Mum and I like it. However I usually buy the tinned wine cured whole filets for special occasions they are super. Serve the herrings with fresh chopped onions and perhaps some capers.
