Found this link for a quick, easy recipe for pickled herring:

http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,161,153173-230199,00.html

For pickling spices, I am going to suggest using at least two bay leaves, a couple of whole cloves, a couple of dashes of dill (or a couple of whole dill heads), a couple of dashes of allspice and a few peppercorns. Of course, adjust for personal taste. (That is what I used in the larger jar.) I let the herring marinate for 24 hours and they were done!

In the smaller jar, I used Clausen's pickle juice--and my SO and I far prefer the homemade marinade.

Its been 48 hours now and clausen herring still kinda firm. But yes sticking garlic cloves and a fresh pepper in the jar would be great. BTW, soaking the fish overnite seemed to help loosen the scales- i skipped scaling, just rinsed them. As u can see I also didnt filet them. I m thinking of pickling them whole next time (after soaking, beheading and gutting) and maybe not trimming all the fins. Hey, this small batch took a whole lotta time! And i have all kinds of volunteers who wanna sample-but not help!

TY for those; i had seen those recipes, but they didn't tickle my fancy; the ones that combine fish with any dairy products, I just can't abide cuz i hate dairy.

HOWEVER, i did experiment with the roe and have one going on now, which may be a keeper.

I also have roe on kelp.

I also improved the pickled herring recipe.

Will post all my herring recipes manana; I hear tell there's a major football game on the telly.
