Here it is quite popular and we have used it in different ways. May I introduce you with one of most popular herring salad here "Shuba" or "Herring under Fur Coat"?
"Herring under Fur Coat" served at nearly every special occasion in the post-Soviet space. It was first seen in the early days of the Soviet Union. However, what is most unusual about the salad is its bright purple color, which comes from the top layer of beets and mayonnaise. The story goes like this: Anastas Bogomilov, a merchant who owned cafes in Moscow and Tver, noticed that his customers would drink heavily and begin to debate the fate of the country in the early post-revolution months. These discussions often ended in fights, where Mr. Bogomilov's glasses and dishes were broken. A chef at one of his cafes offered to create a hearty snack, which would sober up the customers and thus reduce the number of fights. The result was ???? (Shuba). Now people call it ??????? ??? ?????, which literally means “herring under a fur coat.” As the top layer is made of shredded beets, the dish indeed have a passably "furry" appearance.
Ingredients 2 large, salted fatty herring 3-4 potatoes 2 large beets 2 large carrots 1 medium onion 3 egg yolks (for decoration) Mayonnaise Steps 1. Wash and boil the potatoes, beets, and carrots with the skins on until tender. 2. Remove the herring's skin, bones, cut into fillets, and then into small cubes. 3. Choose a large serving plate or bowl and moisten with water. 4. Evenly spread out the herring on the serving plate or in the bowl. 5. Peel and very finely shred the onion. Then, dip it into boiling water. Drain the water and place the onion on top of the fish. 6. Cover this layer with a generous amount of mayonnaise. 7. Finely cube the potatoes and use them to form the next layer. 8. Crisscross the salad with thin strips of mayonnaise. 9. Coarsely grate the carrots and beets into separate piles. 10. Spread the grated carrots over mayonnaise net. 11. For the final layer, place the beets on top and cover in an even, generous amount of mayonnaise. 12. On the top of the salad, crumble boiled egg or decorate the salad with carrot roses, herbs, etc. 13. Cover with a lid or saran wrap and place the salad in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

I love most sea food especially Rollmop Herrings; The very best British breakfast is Kedgeree, using smoked white fish, usually haddock with rice and eggs. It is based on the Indian Hindi Khichri and comes from the Victorian days of the Raj.
4 large fresh free-range eggs 6 oz. rice (Basmati works well)/175 g 1/2 pint of cold water Salt and pepper to taste 2 0z. butter/55 g 2 large onions (peeled and finely sliced) 1 lb smoked haddock/450 g 7 fl oz. milk/200 ml 4 teaspoon curry powder6 Cardamom pods 2 bay leaves Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1/2 oz./15 g flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
