Ingredients
frozen herring	1 kg
salt	1 tablespoon
sugar	1 tablespoon
vinegar	1 tablespoon
vegetable oil	4-5 tablespoons
onion	2-3 pcs
Bay leaf	2-3 pcs
coriander	0.5 tsp
bitter peppercorns	0.5 tsp

Cooking method

• Defrost the herring, remove the head, entrails.
• 
• We cut the resulting carcass along the ridge and remove the bones. Rinse the finished fillet with water and let the water drain. Can be blotted with paper towel. Cut the onion into rings, grind the pepper and coriander in a mortar. Put the herring fillet in the dish (in which we will marinate), add salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, onion and all the spices, mix gently and leave for 1 hour at room temperature. After we put in the refrigerator after 6-7 hours, the herring is ready for vodka!

• For this recipe I want to thank the golden man, a wonderful friend (we have been friends for 35 years!), My godfather Lenochka! Thank you dear! Every time I enjoy the taste of this herring, I remember the catch phrase from the wonderful film "Days of the Turbins": "How can you eat a herring without vodka? I absolutely don't understand!"

Note

"Days of the Turbins" is a three-part television feature film based on the play of the same name (author's presentation for the scene of the novel "The White Guard") by M. A. Bulgakov. Filmed by order of the USSR State Radio and Television in 1976.
The film tells about the intelligentsia and the revolution in Russia, about the life of the Turbins' family of officers during the civil war.
Kiev. Winter 1918-1919. Civil War. Power in the city passes from the hetman to the Directory, from Petliura to the Bolsheviks. The Turbins and their friends have to make their own choice. Colonel Alexey Turbin and his brother Nikolai remain loyal to the White movement and bravely defend it, not sparing their lives. The husband of Elena, nee Turbina, - Vladimir Talberg shamefully flees from the city with the retreating German troops. In this troubled time, family and close friends get together and celebrate the New Year. A strange and a bit ridiculous person comes to visit them, a distant relative of the Turbins - Larion Surzhansky (Lariosik) ...

Drool flowed in a stream. Bookmarked it. And how many herrings in a kilogram. I'm afraid this will be a bit too much.

These 3 herrings weigh 1kg. 100gr. We just remove the heads and entrails and get a plus or minus about 1 kg. weight.

Pickled fish is power! So mackerel can be cooked.

Now I'm going to salt the herring. Something is not written, you need to peel it off.

You can clean. I just don't clean. because it is not always possible to do IT beautifully. The taste is not reflected in any way.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm in the cleaning phase now. I cleaned one file. Indeed, it turns out difficult and not very beautiful. I decided not to clean. And here is your answer. I will report back tomorrow.
