Making Rollmops

[pubrunner]

Hi All,

I remember many decades ago, my mum used to make rollmop herring - they tasted great !

Thing is though, it ain't easy to find fresh herring; I was wondering, has anyone ever tried making rollmop mackerel ?

Like the herring, the mackerel is an oily fish (though stronger tasting) and given that it is possible to get them fresh, might they work well as a replacement to the herring in a 'rollmop' ?

If anyone has ever tried this, please let me know - any recipes for rollmops of any kind would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
