June is the season for catching Pacific herring, so at the beginning of summer a new catch of this popular fish appears on the capital’s shelves. At the “Moscow – on the Wave” markets you can buy herring from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, as well as the Bering and Caspian seas.
So different and very tasty
Each type of herring has its own characteristics. Pacific herring has tender meat and rich taste, it is best suited for salads and sandwiches. You can find this type in the canned food section. Canned herring is usually purchased when there is no time or desire to cut up the fish yourself.
Olyutorskaya herring is a subspecies of Pacific herring. The fish got its name from the place where it was caught: it lives in Olyutorsky Bay of the Bering Sea on the northeastern coast of Kamchatka. This herring is considered one of the fattest, tastiest and healthiest. The tender meat is rich in unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D and B12. At the Moscow-on-the-Wave fish markets, Olyutorskaya herring is sold lightly salted and fresh-frozen.
Atlantic herring is also popular among city dwellers, as it has a balanced taste and is versatile in cooking: it is not only salted and smoked, but also marinated and even fried. Due to its high protein and healthy fat content, it is one of the most nutritious sea fish. Whole Atlantic herring carcasses are sold in the frozen food department and the specialized Seledochka department.
Caspian herring (another name is zalom) is known for its large size and high fat content (up to 20 percent), which makes it especially tasty. In addition, this fish is rich in such useful microelements as calcium and iron. In the past, Caspian herring was served at the royal table and was considered a delicacy. The gastronomic legend is sold in the markets in the lightly salted fish section.
Canapes, cold appetizers and hot dishes
Aleksandr Chervyakov, a chef at the Moscow-on-the-Wave fish market, says that the culinary use of herring is by no means limited to the traditional salad. For example, he recommends a fresh look at the usual combination of products and suggests making canapes from lightly salted fish, boiled potatoes, pickled onions (or fresh cucumbers) and garlic sauce. This buffet snack is made quickly, looks appetizing and turns out very tasty.
The chef also reminded that herring can be fried or baked, and shared a recipe. Fresh-frozen fish should be cut, removing bones and skin, and marinated with garlic and unagi sauce. The marinated fillet should be put on thin skewers or sticks and lightly fried over high heat. Wrap the finished fish in foil and let it rest on its own. Serve the dish with mashed potatoes.
