I’d try it. Is the skin meant to be eaten after pickling, or does it remove easily?

It's very soft, you eat it with the skin. The Dutch version of salted herring is the nicest one (compared to Nordic and Baltic versions), it's quite mild flavoured and has a great raw-fish kind of texture. Ones which are pickled longer are still nice but can get a bit floury sometimes.

Danish pickled herring is amazing though... You really think Dutch salted herring beats it?

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

In my opinion yeah, the texture is better, smoother, when they're freshly brined as opposed to the more crumbly/flaky texture when they're marinaded in vinegar. But Danish picked herring is also delicious.

Crumbly? Flaky? That doesn't sound like a Danish pickled herring... They're smooth and fatty, with a light acid.

do you also do the varieties that the swedes do? that's my favourite part, getting a whole bunch of differently spiced ones. probably need to try the dutch version.

No need to remove the skin. It’ll just melt in your mouth.

The herring is not pickled, it's raw and fresh.

[–] BorgDrone@feddit.nl 18 points 18 hours ago

It’s not raw, it’s cured in brine.

I guess you're Dutch, you might not know that in English 'pickled' doesn't only refer to things in vinegar, but it can also refer to things put in salt brine for a few days like maatjes.
