Your Hooked recipe for the absolute best curry herring
We most often associate it with Christmas or Easter lunch, and on a normal weekday it can also be found on the lunch table to spice up an otherwise boring rye bread sandwich - yes, we're talking about curry pudding.
For many, the curry herring is the favorite herring, and while we love all kinds of fish, traditional or street food style, we understand why this is a favorite for many. Whether you prefer to top it with eggs, onions, fresh apples or capers, we've put together a recipe for the best curry herring in, of course, true Hooked style.

Go the extra mile with your curry herring
Although the curry herring itself is the crowning glory, the foundation is just as important. Rye bread is probably the most common way to serve curry herring. However, as this is also important to keep in mind, you can impress your guests even more by baking a homemade rye bread to accompany your curry herring.
It's all about the whole experience, no matter what the dish is. A homemade rye bread will help emphasize the flavour of the curry and offer your guests an even better experience.
Fish for the whole family
The curry herring is so mild and soft in flavor that it can be enjoyed by both the young and old in the family when you gather around the table for Christmas or Easter lunch. Add apple cubes or a soft-boiled egg to top off the curry for the little ones. This is often a hit with the youngest.
