Herring tip
Herring tip (also cream herring ) is a traditional fish dish made from matjes or salted herring , pickles , apples , herbs and spices with a sauce made from mayonnaise, cream or milk. A typical side dish is jacket potatoes . Often, however, the herring tip is also the side dish with the baked potato , as it is served at German festivals and markets.
In the past, the herring tip was considered "poor people's food". Especially in Catholic areas such as the Rhineland , the dish is a typical fasting meal , which is usually served on strict fasting and abstinence days such as Ash Wednesday or Good Friday . Similar recipes are known in other regions of Germany, but especially in northern Germany, where similar preparations are called herring salad or herring hackers .
The Brockhaus defined herring Stipp as " fish marinade of at least 50% leavened or salted, filleted, disintegrated herring meat with onion, cucumber, spices (including celery) and mayonnaise, the finely grated herring milk may contain".
