Marinated herring

Description

A delicious appetizer for any gathering. With my recipe, the fish turns out much tastier and more interesting than store-bought. There is no unpleasant smell or aftertaste. The herring comes out sweet and sour, with a pleasant aroma of spices. It is already a finished dish that is garnished with chopped onion and herbs when served, and it can also be used to prepare other dishes. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
