This is what it is simply called - “herring oil”. Recipe the preparation of the dish reveals that it is a full-fledged snack (with bread, of course). It can also be used to decorate various artsy baskets of dough with fish salads. Based on ordinary butter and a no less ordinary herring, it is possible to get many different amazing mixtures for spreading on bread for breakfast or a light feast. It is only necessary to connect imagination to the cooking process and not be afraid to combine products: eggs, cheese, apples, herbs, mustard.
Any recipe for herring butter includes two preparatory steps: 1) remove a pack of oil from the refrigerator, 2) cut the herring into fillets. True, there are also such provisions that recommend using fish meat, and its caviar or milk, for this dish. Many recipes include passing the fillet three times through a meat grinder or chopping in a blender. But users empirically concluded that small pieces of fish in oil look and eat better than a pasty mass. Therefore, we recommend that the main ingredient is chopped finely (or chopped - from whom it turns out).
