And let us not forget Russia's wondrous contribution to pickled herring
dishes. Silotka (Seelyotka), served with chopped onions and slivers of
boiled eggs. Accompanied by black bread and vodka straight from the freezer.
I'll have this rather than caviar any day.

does anyone have a good recipe for herring salad?  Quite frankly, my mother
was not a very good cook.  However, her herring salad was outstanding.  It
was very strong in flavor and all the herring salad I have eaten in
restaurants seems a pale imitation.

Basic question: Was it white or red herring salad?  There's an enormous
difference.

For strong flavor, you ought to have steamed, cubed and pickled celery root
(celeriac) in the white one and good pickled and cubed red beets in the red
one, and chopped *good* kosher pickles in both, aside from good,
unsweetened, cubed vinegar-cured herring filet.
