I love it. You just eat it right out of the jar. Keep a big jar at work in the fridge, and have some for lunch every day. You must not like great tasting stuff. No food is pretty after you chew it.

We can't keep a bottle in the fridge for very long. When I was growing up, my dad kept trying to get me to taste it and I thought it looked disgusting. Then one day I tried it. Later.... my dad looked down into the empty jar and said "Hey! Who ate all my herring!" I like the pickled herring plain, in wine, or best in the sour cream. I guess it's just something your tastebuds are wired for or not. BTW, we're not jewish at all, so our liking it didn't come from that background. Everybody in my family loves this.

Traditional festivus fare at our house. Its always fun to see a newbie try it for the first time, and we wont let you live it down if you don't partake. Better to grin and bear it, but most come back for more. Pickled turkey gizzards and cannibal sandwiches round out the essential 'appetizer' tray. (at least you wont have to worry about the kids raiding it) I prefer MaBaensch with sour cream/chives. Traditional festivus fare at our house.

I love it and I'm neither Jewish or Norweigian. In fact I just had some. My mom introduced me to it. She grew up in the early 1900's on the Upper West Side in a very multi-ethnic apartment building and probably had Jewish neighbors that probably gave her some. If the sour cream gets to you, just try the "homestyle" in wine without sour cream. Herring is a mainstay of the Meditterranean diet and is very high in vitamin D and Omega-3 oils, more so than salmon. Hey, anyone that thinks its yucky just leaves more for ME! I grew up eating this!

Last year I was in the Netherlands on the first day of herring season so I tried the raw herring. That, too, was delicious. A fatty fish, the raw herring tasted smooth and creamy. I look forward to going to NYC this spring for some raw herring. I happen to enjoy creamed pickled herring as well.

These are a staple there (though I do personally prefer the herring in "wine" sauce), and, like certain nostalgic favorites, may be objectively "coarse," relative to what we're used to (see, e.g., grilled cheese with american cheese product and tomato soup from a can, for most "mainstream" Americans) Clearly, most people didn’t grow up eating at “kiddushes” at synagogue on Saturday morning.
