Interesting... is the fish still raw? I've like.. no idea on pickling and stuff.

[Nymf]

kinda, it gets "cooked" in the 2 days it lays in the mixture but its more like sushi then any real cooked dish

My wife ate some while we were in Denmark and liked it but fish has to be well cooked for me to eat it.

My brother's wife is Dutch and would eat that.

[POKER]

My husband's family does something similar at Christmas. But instead of vinegar for the pickling they use lemon and lime juice, and instead of herring it's scallops, mussels, and some sort of white fish. It's super yummy!

Interesting Allison, would it be possible for you to get a recipe of that?
