Herring enthusiast and Sea Forager champion William West shares his favorite herring recipe!

Sea Forager CSF member Kate Schultz implores us: don't throw out the Fish Milt (aka male roe) or Female Roe from the Herring; here is a delicious way to enjoy every part.

Aromatic, delicate herring with ginger and green onions.

Catch them yourself if you can, and enjoy them in the classic Scandinavian way…

Can you tell this one’s going to be a winner? It’s like candy, dear god, and it should probably be illegal. I eat them whole, bones and all. (okay, not the tippy tail or the head, but you could!!)

See below for instructions on how to scale, gut, and clean your herring. After all of that work emptying your fish, now you get to fill it with fresh herbs! I promise, this will be good.
