For 5 herrings, we prepare a marinade from the following ingredients:

• Sugar – 1 tsp. .
• Mustard – 1 tbsp. l.
• Vinegar – 4 tbsp. l.
• Sour cream – 1 tbsp. l.
• Marinated mushrooms – 1 tsp.
• Pickled cucumbers – 1 pc.
• Onion – 1 pc.
• Salt – small pieces

First, prepare the herring: remove the skin from them, remove the bones and put them in a glass or enamel dish.

Now we start the marinade: rub the milk (caviar) with mustard, sugar and vinegar. Add sour cream and rub the mixture through a sieve. You can blend it in a modern way. Finely chop the mushrooms, cucumber, and onion. Salt and mix thoroughly. Pour this marinade over herrings, cover with cling film and put in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
