3. Allow to cool slightly and then pour over the fish. Leave the fish to cool in the liquid, cover and leave in the refrigerator overnight.
4. Serve the fish with some of the onions on a bed of lettuce, and garnish with sprigs of fresh dill if desired.
Are you using raw herring for this recipe and only "cook" it by marinating?
Thanks,
