["Clean fish. Remove heads. Soak fish in cold water for 10-12 hours, changing water a few times so fish will not be too salty. If you wish, start soaking a few hours before going to bed; change water a few times, then soak overnight. Drain fish on absorbent paper; cut crosswise into 1/2\" slices without removing bones and place in a glass jar. Combine dressing ingredients and bring to boiling point. Chill. Pour over herring. Cover and let stand a few days in refrigerator before serving. Always serve this kind of herring from the jar. Taste improves the longer herring is pickled.""]"
