Notes: Herring has long played a central role in Swedish food. Originally, it was because it was so cheap and plentiful, but now it is because it is because it is central to many Swedish festivals.
Pickling herring in vinegar and salt became popular as a technique to preserve filleted herring and make it last through the winter. Herbs and spices were then added to create interest. Today, pickled herring appears on the table at nearly all festivals in Sweden, with the exception of crayfish parties.
