Ausra you just saved my bacon !! My mum is 87 and I have I have to make some of the food for Kūčios - she does not have this recipe written down. Thank you so much .

This looks so interesting - we always have herring on Christmas Eve too and this seems like a great way to make it a little more exciting!

Lovely. This looks a little similar to the herring under a fur coat from Belarus with beets.

Dear Greenstuff, I usually use brined herring (the one that comes out of the big wooden barrels), but you can successfully use pickled herring that is usually sold in jars, with white wine sauce, or with mustard seeds, or any other variety that you might like;
and about the use of ketchup in Lithuanian cooking - it is used EVERYWHERE, even on PIZZA!!!

Thanks! I love herring. Ketchup, not so much, personally, but I had a feeling you might tell me it was a Baltic favorite!

This recipe looks really interesting--I have a couple questions that I thought I'd post here rather than on Foodpickle. Is it with salt (brined) herring? Not pickled, canned, or fresh? And is ketchup used frequently in Lithuanian food? Thanks!
