Shop the Styles

  • Fillets in Oil: clean, savory profile—great with rye bread and onions.
  • Pickled Fillets (Brine/Vinegar): brighter, tangy taste with spices.
  • Matjes / Lightly Salted: delicate texture, classic Scandinavian/Baltic style.
  • With Sauce: mustard, dill, or creamy variations for ready-to-plate appetizers.
    Formats: skinless/boneless fillets, jars or pouches—see each product page.

How to Choose (Brine, Cut & Sauce)

  • Oil vs Pickled: oil = rounder and richer; pickled = sharper, aromatic.
  • Cut & Texture: skinless/boneless fillets for neat plating; some fine, soft pin bones may remain—check the label.
  • Seasoning: onion & dill for classic; mustard for a tangy kick; cream sauce for a mellow spread.
    Allergen note: contains fish; sauces may include mustard or dairy—always read the label.

Serving Ideas

  • Over boiled or mashed potatoes with dill and green onion.
  • On rye bread (масло/масло+горчица) with sliced onion or cucumber.
  • As a starter on a zakuska board with pickled vegetables.
  • Diced into a layered “shuba” salad (herring, potatoes, carrots, beets).
