Hot-smoked vendace
Description
Suitable for both holidays and everyday meals. To make hot-smoked herring, you will need 4 medium-sized fish, soy sauce, liquid smoke, a little fish seasoning, an oven bag, 4 toothpicks, an oven, and 90 minutes of your time. In essence, making hot-smoked herring is very simple. Liquid smoke, by the way, is optional; however, without it the herring will not have the aroma that smoked fish should have. Good luck with your cooking. Serve the appetizer at the table.
