The Baltic Twist – the basil herring

Jakub Sylwestrowicz

Herring is a classic of the Polish Christmas Eve table. It cannot be left out for this holiday season. In my family, practically every adult makes herring for Christmas Eve according to their own recipe, and at dinner everyone has to try everyone else’s. I associate this dish with good company - not only during, but also before and after Christmas.
