Directions
Freshen salt herring with milk: clean and wash herring and soak overnight. Dry with paper towel. Combine wine and egg yolks and beat until blended. Add flour gradually until a smooth batter is formed [ like a medium pancake batter]. Dip fish in batter; heat butter in a large heavy skillet until foaming subsides. Add herring and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 12-15 min.
Serve with sauerkraut, boiled potatoes and onion rings. From: The German Cookbook by Mimi Sheraton, 1965 Posted by: Jim Weller Submitted By JIM WELLER On 12-06-95
