Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pat the herring very dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the eggs in a wide shallow bowl. In another bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and black pepper, to taste.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the oil into a large frying pan, until it is 1 inch deep. Over medium heat, bring the oil to 375 degrees.

  4. Step 4

    When the oil is hot, dip both sides of the herring in the egg and then the bread crumbs, making sure that it is entirely covered.

  5. Step 5

    Carefully place the fillets in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and fry them for 45 seconds to a minute, until they are golden brown.

  6. Step 6

    Drain and serve immediately, topped with a sprinkling of red onion, tomato and cucumber.
