Herring smoked in oil. Product of Latvia. 240g can

Brivais Vilnis Smoked Herring (Salaka) in Oil is a traditional Latvian dish made with herring that has been smoked and then preserved in oil. The dish is typically served as an appetizer or a snack, and is often accompanied by bread or potatoes.

To make the dish, the herring is first smoked over wood chips, which imparts a rich, smoky flavor to the fish. The smoked herring is then filleted, and the bones and skin are removed. The fish is then placed in a jar or can and covered with oil, which helps to preserve the herring and gives it a soft and tender texture.
