Delicious Herring under a fur coat

Delicious Herring under a fur coat is an integral part of the festive feast menu in our country. They love this dish dearly, argue hotly about the most "correct" recipe for its preparation, invent original ways of serving or their own variations on the theme. So we decided to dream a little!
