PICKLED HERRING
Steps:
- Soak the herring in the milk for at least 12 hours or up to 24 to draw out a lot of the excess salt. Drain the herring, rinse, and pat dry. Cut off the fins and fillet the herring, leaving the skin on. Cut the fillets crosswise into 2-inch strips.
- In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vinegar, allspice, mustard seeds, caraway seeds, and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and cool the pickling mixture completely.
- Arrange the herring fillets, onion, carrots, dill, bay leaves, and horseradish in a glass dish or funky Mason jar. Pour the cooled pickling mixture into the jar so that all the ingredients are completely covered with the liquid. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh herring: Look for herring that has bright, clear eyes, shiny skin, and a firm texture. Avoid fish that has a dull appearance or an off odor.
- Prepare the herring properly: Before grilling, gut and scale the herring. You can also remove the head and tail if desired. Make sure to rinse the fish thoroughly with cold water.
- Use a hot grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the herring. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the herring skin-side down: Place the herring on the grill grates skin-side down. This will help to protect the delicate flesh of the fish.
- Cook the herring until it is opaque: Cook the herring for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is opaque throughout. You can check the doneness of the fish by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the flesh. If the fork comes out clean, the fish is done.
- Serve the herring with a flavorful sauce: Grilled herring is delicious served with a variety of sauces, such as horseradish sauce, parsley sauce, or lemon butter sauce.
