Festive canapés with herring for a cocktail party and banquet

There are no hot dishes at this reception. And in the strict sense of the word canapé is a kind of sandwiches. They must necessarily be small, so that you can send them to the mouth entirely. Canapes at banquets are served as an aperitif - before a meal, and on receptions - along with cold snacks. These sandwiches look very elegant.

Recipes of such appetizers are very common in the kitchens of northern peoples: Russians, Scandinavians, Danes, Germans.

For ten slices of rye bread, we need 200 grams of salted herring fillets. First we divide the fish, remove all the bones from it. Then cut it into longitudinal pieces of no more than two centimeters.

With this liquid we will pour the pieces of herring, cover it with film and send it to the fridge to marinate. After three hours, we begin to form canape with herring.
