How do you cure herring?

Herring can be cured using a simple process that involves brining or pickling. To brine, mix water, salt, and sugar, and submerge the cleaned herring in this solution for several hours to days, depending on the desired flavor intensity. For pickling, prepare a vinegar solution with spices and herbs, and then soak the fish in this mixture for a few days. Both methods enhance the flavor and preserve the herring for longer storage.
