A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Herring, new potatoes and suzma bring fish together with a soft potato accompaniment and a cultured dairy note. It is a familiar pairing with a local detail. Start with herring and potato, then add a little suzma to find the balance you prefer.
Flavour and serving
Suzma is part of the serving alongside new potatoes. Use it to bring the fish and potato together in one bite.
Unlike the salmon starters with toast, herring comes with potatoes. This creates a different cold-plate format: a vegetable side replaces the bread, and suzma provides the soft dairy accompaniment. If you enjoy comparing familiar pairings with local details, try the new potatoes and suzma both with the fish and separately from it.
What to try alongside
This starter already includes potatoes. Add vegetables or pickles if you would like to explore several different cold plates at the same meal.
