I live in Toru艅, a beautiful city famous for a brilliant astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus. Toru艅 is the biggest city in Kujawy region of Poland. You can eat in our restaurants Kujawian herring, they are really delicious.

Sounds good. I just want to make sure that is the herring eaten in raw?

Dear Halina, am I right to understand that the herring remains raw in this dish? No prior boiling, frying or steaming is needed, isn't it?

Anastasia, you shouldn't fry herring fillets, they must be fresh.Marcin, it isn't hot, it is quite mild.I'm sure you can prepare every type of fish in this way (but use fried fish). Preparing this dish takes not much time(about one hour).Fish or herrings cannot make you fat, it is healthy food.Thanks for comments and warm words.I am glad to read all of them (especially from my countrymen).

Thank you Halina, I heard and read a lot about Poland, from my friends who have visited it, about its best shopping street "novy shviet" "the new world" in Warsow but I did'nt hear a lot about the polish cuisine. When I visit Poland, I'll try this dish which looks delecious and different from the Algerian dishes. My salutation.

Elda, Italy
I think it's rather strange to combine three ingredients with such a different flavour, but it may be tasty. I may try to prepare it as I like fish and apples a lot.

Hi Halina, I have been trying to cook some exotic dishes of late though I am one of the worst in the job. Your recipe gives me some sort of inspiration to step into the kitchen. Like Luiza I am not able to find herring fillets here in Jakarta. I hope I can try it with some other fish. Anyway, thanks for the recipe.
