Real Odesa forshmak: recipe for the healthiest appetizer from the chef
Herring is the healthiest fish, according to experts. It is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-6 and Omega-3. They help protect blood vessels from atherosclerosis and strengthen the immune system. The content of healthy fatty acids in herring is the same as in salmon and trout! It is best eaten marinated, made into spreads, forshmak, snacks, and salads.
