Herrings on Toast
 
Preparation time
Cooking time
Total time
 
When using roll mop herrings, gently rinse the fillets in water before chopping. I hate waste, but I did not use the onions that were included in the pot in this dish. Have all the ingredients ready and chop as your toast is grilling. This is a dish that you'll need to taste as you go and add more creme fraiche or dill to make it taste as you like
