Brathering: the traditional German fried and pickled herring recipe with delicious pommes Anna, or Anna potatoes. I have to give credit to chef Matthew Ryle, as his recipe for the potatoes is by far the best I could find. Thank you chef 🫡

Recipe:
1. Fillet the fish as demonstrated in this video and season. Clean and reserve the fishbones.
2. For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a pot and boil for 5 minutes.
3. Dust the fish in flour and fry until golden brown. Cover with the marinade and let marinate in the fridge for 2-3 days.
4. Pommes Anna: cut the potatoes on a mandoline in 5mm thin slices and cut out with a cookie cutter. Coat well with clarified butter. In a deep pan, arrange the potato slices in a rosette shape, cover with parchment paper and weigh down. Get the potatoes going over medium high heat for a fee minutes, then bake at 180C for 2 hours.
5. Garnishes: roast the herring bones at 180C for about 20min and combine the herring caviar with the cream cheese. Serve all together and enjoy!
