WHY IS IT CALLED FERMENTED HERRING?
HOW TO OPEN A FERMENTED HERRING CAN
A lactic acid enzyme in the fish’s backbone becomes active if the right conditions, salt and temperature, are favorable. The fish begins to ferment, producing lactic acid and various amino acids. The acids have an antibiotic effect. The amino acids are flavor components. The product becomes soured herring, syrströmming, later called suring or fermented herring. It is a lean delicacy with vitamin D. Fermented food retains much of its vitamin content.
Keep the can refrigerated, if possible until the minute before opening. Hold the can firmly with a napkin or dish towel and tilt it at a 45-degree angle. Puncture the upper edge with a can opener. In this way, you avoid the brine being forced out due to the pressure inside the can.

HOW TO CLEAN FERMENTED HERRING
Cleaning the fish is a ritual in itself that should be allowed to take time.
Whole fermented herring is cleaned of entrails and backbone, while fillets can be eaten as they are. The skin is edible, but many prefer to remove it. Place the whole herring with the skin side up and spread it open on the plate. Press with a fork so it becomes flat like a flounder. Then turn the fish over and remove the backbone. Don’t forget to save any roe, which is considered the finest part of the fermented herring.
