I'm just curious- any of you know how to make South African style herring salad? I know my MIL sometimes substitutes tuna instead of herring, and there must be sugar, and hard boiled eggs in the salad. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about and can give a recipe?

Oh- btw, this herring salad is the type thats traditionally eaten with kichel.

We used dto call it "chopped herring" and here is one of the many recipes I found online:

Serves 6 as a fish course; 12 as an hors d'oevre

4 salt herring filets soaked 12 hours in cold water

1-1/2 Tbsp finely chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped tart apple

2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped

2 slice white bread, trimmed

3 Tbsp cider vinegar

2 Tbsp salad oil

1 tsp sugar

Change water in which the herring is soaking at least twice. Drain. Chop the herring as finely as possible. Combine with the onion, apple and eggs.

Beat the vinegar with sugar and oil. Pour over the trimmed white bread, allowing it to soak for a few minutes. Add soaked bread to the herring mixture and chop until it is smooth.

Correct seasoning (should be fairly tart) and chill.
