Whats wrong with that meal tho?
I mean, even if you're really into unseasoned fish topped with raw onion, presentation certainly leaves something to be desired.
Probably pickled onion. Like in the rollmops pickled herring jars.
Usually it's just regular raw onion. And there's actually a lot of taste in the herring due to gibbing.
Doesn't look pickled, but it definitely could be I guess. Fuck I love pickled onions...I don't eat mops though, rolled or otherwise.
Good fish doesn't really need much else than salt. Unless you don't really want to taste the fish but the other stuff
Good anything doesn't need much else than salt, doesn't mean I don't want it. Find me a savory dish that's not improved by garlic and I'll stab you in the heart because you're obviously a vampire.
I don't want to taste the other stuff, I want to taste the fish though. The joy of a good fish is the taste, no reason to muddy that taste with other stuff
I don't eat mud, and sorry, you can't come in my home, vampire.
I don't get it, do you mean you'd eat mud if someone put spices in it?
No, just that flavors don't get muddied when I cook, it must be a skill issue.
Flavours don't mix when you cook? Lmao
They mix perfectly and sing in harmony. Like yeah, a good whistled tune is enjoyable, but I prefer the symphony.
I mean that's fine, it's a taste thing after all
My understanding is that it's pickled and salted, and both of those are seasonings.
no side dish, for a start
Side fish is enough.
Pickle is a perfectly normal side dish. You should stop dutch shaming people.
Wooden shoe be the one to notice.
If it was a full pickle, you'd have a point. One little burger chip? That's not even an entire amuse-bouche.
It's a snack, not a meal
Americans are frightened if their meal isn't covered in cheese and doesn't have the consistency of babyfood.
Nothing, it’s delicious.
Damn it. This post made me hungry for some herring.
I've never had it, but I'd probably love it. If I list my favorite meals, most of them would include fish.
You should try it if you ever get the chance. The flavor is really subtle and it just melts in your mouth.
Awesome. :)
I love ceviche and my SO makes pickled salmon salads that are amazing, so I'd probably love it.
