About Matjes

Matjes is a dish made from young herring that has been cured in a brine solution of vinegar, sugar, and spices, creating a distinctively tender and mildly sweet flavor. Originating from Northern Europe, particularly the Netherlands and Germany, Matjes is a staple in Scandinavian and Dutch cuisine. It is typically served with onions, sour cream, potatoes, or bread, making it a versatile addition to meals. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Matjes herring is excellent for heart and brain health, offering high-quality protein and essential vitamins such as B12 and D. However, due to its curing process, it can be high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Whether as a light appetizer or part of a hearty meal, Matjes is a flavorful way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of fish while sampling a traditional dish from European culinary heritage.
