So I also bought some squid which I&#8217;ve realised\u00a0over the last\u00a0few months\u00a0is easy to prepare and cook &#8211; this will be another post.<\/p>\n<p>I hesitated with the herring, the last time I had bought fresh herring and baked it somehow, it was not a &#8216;wouah&#8217; it&#8217;s delicious moment. More like&#8230;..there are lots of bones to pick. I am glad I bought it again and\u00a0selected a recipe from Hugh Fearley (what&#8217;s his name???)&#8230;I had to fillet the herring first ( and I could improve my skills here, but you can find help from others:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=byI8L1dSgNw\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=byI8L1dSgNw<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The recipe is one of these (Scottish?) traditional recipes I have read many times but somehow never got to try. Very simply the fillets are dipped first in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, fennel seeds (whole). Then dipped into a beaten egg and then into fine oats, then fried.\u00a0 The flavour was lovely, the oat crust&#8230;.crunchy and soft &#8230;I completely recommend it. So easy and quick. The recipe uses rolled oats. So I blended my jumbo oats to make them finer, probably even a little finer than rolled oats, I wanted to make sure they would cook properly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-010.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1729\" title=\"Herring coated in oats, uncooked\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-010-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-010-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-010-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1728\" title=\"Fried Herring coated in oats\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-012-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-012-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/29-Jan-11-012-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I felt a little guilty buying only one herring&#8230;.it costs 70p and the fishmonger on Stoke&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1728,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,209,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-farmers-markets","category-recipes","category-winter","comments-open","has-comments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1727"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1750,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727\/revisions\/1750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
