Herring¶

On Saturday we had one of my favourite simple dishes. To make it you need some fresh herrings:
which you just put some pepper and salt on then swipe them through flour so they are thinly coated:
and then you just fry them in vegetable oil for a few minutes. In my experience it’s best to fry the unskinned side first. Frying should be hot but not very hot - level 2 or 2½ if the stove goes up to 3 with turning them over once or twice. They are best served with some white bread or toast. But we had some risotto with it which was a bit fancier. Obviously some white wine won’t hurt either.
Our neighbour used to do these when there were parties in our street when I was little. Simple and perfect.
