craving for pickled herring

I guess since pickled herring isn't cooked,
it's off limits during pregnancy...?

but the pickling preserves it and it's done straight after the fish is
caught, personally I've been taking raw to mean just that raw, as in not
preserved by any method, I've eated smoked salmon anyway!

Not in the Netherlands. I had plenty of it. My midwife told me it's
actually good, because of the fatty acids it contains.

You know what Anita, my ob told me sushi is fine, even, as long as its from
a reputable restaurant. Pickled herring is probably fine as well - its
pickled and canned, which is a sterile procedure, or else every can would be
swimming in bacteria.

I just found a really good site on foods to avoid and foods that are
safe - pickled food and canned food is safe! Go for it!!

In the Netherlands is where I first had it
and it was SO GOOD... covered in onions...

Mmmmm... I've been fantasizing about it
since last night...

Good to know. I tried to look up last night how it's made
and couldn't tell if it was sterile, but it seemed like it,
what with the boiled water and spices and stuff before
you put the fish in...
