Filety śledziowe a'la matjas w oleju
Description
Matjes herring fillets in oil are delicate, light gray slices with a soft, melting texture and a distinct, slightly salty flavor with a subtly sweet-buttery character typical of young herring. Coated in golden oil, they look appetizing and easily blend with the aromas of spices. Nutritionally, they are a good source of high-quality protein, B vitamins (especially B12), vitamin D, and minerals such as selenium and iodine, as well as healthy unsaturated omega-3 fatty acids beneficial for the heart and brain. However, due to preservation, they may contain a moderate amount of salt, so it is advisable to limit their consumption on a low-sodium diet. They are used as an appetizer, on sandwiches, in salads, and snacks, pairing well with onions, potatoes, and sour additions. They should be stored in a cool, dark place before opening; after opening, keep them in the refrigerator, submerged in oil, and consume within a few days.
