Herring pairs well with

  • Potatoes — classic pairing in traditional Irish and Nordic cuisine
  • Mustard — sharp acidity cuts through oily fish richness
  • Onions — pickled or fresh, balances herring's intensity
  • Cider Vinegar — acidic preserve and pickling agent for herring
  • Beetroot — earthy sweetness pairs well in traditional pickled preparations
