It’s very soft, you eat it with the skin. The Dutch version of salted herring is the nicest one (compared to Nordic and Baltic versions), it’s quite mild flavoured and has a great raw-fish kind of texture. Ones which are pickled longer are still nice but can get a bit floury sometimes.
In my opinion yeah, the texture is better, smoother, when they’re freshly brined as opposed to the more crumbly/flaky texture when they’re marinaded in vinegar. But Danish picked herring is also delicious.
do you also do the varieties that the swedes do? that’s my favourite part, getting a whole bunch of differently spiced ones. probably need to try the dutch version.

Danish pickled herring is amazing though… You really think Dutch salted herring beats it?

Crumbly? Flaky? That doesn’t sound like a Danish pickled herring… They’re smooth and fatty, with a light acid.
