It is important that snacks on the festive table are not only delicious but also beautiful. I suggest making appetizing sandwiches with red fish and cherry tomatoes in the form of ladybugs. Such an original snack will pleasantly surprise guests and delight with beautiful presentation. For the recipe, lightly salted or smoked red fish is suitable: pink salmon, salmon, chum salmon, or trout. If desired, cream cheese can be replaced with butter.

If you do not trust the quality of store-bought salted fish, prepare mackerel in a hot marinade. The mackerel turns out surprisingly tender, spicy, and very juicy. The hot marinade for mackerel is made with the addition of vinegar, which makes the pieces of fish firmer when boiled and prevents them from falling apart. As a result, in just a few hours, you get a product fully ready for consumption. I recommend this simple and very tasty marinated fish recipe for a family dinner or festive table. You can vary the set of spices to your own taste.

Marinated capelin is an appetizing side dish to freshly boiled potatoes. Just the thought of it can make your mouth water. However, buying delicious marinated fish is quite a task. Sometimes there are preservatives in the mix, or it's too salty or too sweet, or the vinegar is overwhelming. To forever forget about such a dilemma, it’s worth learning to marinate fish at home, especially since it’s a quick and easy process. We offer a recipe for marinated capelin - a tasty, fatty fish rich in nutrients. Small capelin, like sprats, does not need to be cleaned before marinating.

It is very easy to make salted mackerel in brine yourself, you just need to be brave once. The taste of home-salted fish cannot be compared to industrially processed ones. After all, you can add exactly as many spices and seasonings as needed, make the marinade more salty or add vinegar or lemon juice to it. In this process, it is very important to maintain the proportion so that the result does not surprise everyone. We are going to salt the fish whole. Each one should weigh about 300 g. Fish that are too small may turn out dry. If you want to cut the fish into pieces, it will take less time to salt (about 12-18 hours). The fish can be served with sliced onion rings and drizzled with a bit of aromatic vegetable oil.
