Low carb snack

I have never tried but you might be able to use diet sugar
MMMMM


Ingredients:

6 salted fillets of Herring, Not need to soak if you use fresh herring
3.4 ounces vinegar

 

1-2 tablespoons sugar or to taste
6-3/4 ounces water
1-1/2 teaspoon whole black pepper
1 medium size sweet onion sliced thin
1 medium size red onion sliced thin
4 bay leaves
1 small sprig fresh dill (diced)(optional)

Directions:
Place sild fillets in cold water for 30-60 minutes until excess salt is removed. Drain water and dry with paper towels.

Cut fillets at an angle into 3/4 " pieces.

Mix vinegar, sugar and water in a pan and bring to a boil. Chill marinate completely.
Place sliced fillets, onion, bay leaves, dill and whole black pepper in layers into a sanitized glass jar.
Fill jar with marinate to cover fillets and all ingredients. Cover with lid. Place in fridge for 24 hours before serving.

If you find that the marinate is too tart, add sugar.

Keep refrigerated.

Or, you can buy it already made, which is MUCH easier

I eat herring as a protein snack all the time.  Sometimes pickled in vinegar, sometimes the sour cream type.  Yummy. Costco was selling a big jar of the vinegar type in which the fish was particularly buttery smooth.

Ah yes, good old pickled herring..... No, please do NOT use sweetener. It will taste horrific. That little tiny bit of sugar won't hurt a thing.

A good North German way to eat pickled herring is like this:

Chop up your herring in bite sized chunks. Add sliced onions and (peeled) apples. Toss the whole mess in lots of sour cream. Chill for a while to let the flavors meld and enjoy, preferably with a slice of black bread aka Vollkornbrot.

This gets stouter in flavor overnight.

I love pickled herring as well, but holy cow the carb limit is really high on the ones in the store. I am not really into cooking, but I think I may actually do this one!
