Dressed herring

What is "dressed herring"?

Dressed herring, also known as herring under a fur coat, is a traditional Russian salad that is made from layers of herring, boiled potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, and mayonnaise. The salad is typically assembled in a deep dish, with each layer carefully arranged to create a colorful and flavorful dish. The herring is often deboned and mixed with onions and mayonnaise to create a flavorful spread, which is then used as one of the layers in the salad. The salad is often decorated with additional layers of boiled eggs, pickles, or fresh herbs, which add texture and flavor to the dish. Dressed herring is a popular dish that is often served as an appetizer or as a main course.
