These recipes that we have gathered here were popular throughout the British Isles many years ago. It seems fitting that we should revive them and share them here with you. Many of these recipes have been handed down by word of mouth for centuries. We have taken pains to present them to you as they might have been passed from Mother to Daughter and from neighbour to neighbour. We do hope you enjoy them. If you have any favourites of your own, or variations on what we have presented, please let us know. We would love to add your favourites to our growing list.

Herring in Oatmeal

4 fresh filleted herring
3 tblsp Oatmeal
2 oz Butter Lemon (to garnish)

Wash the fish in cold running water and pat dry. Put the oatmeal on a flat tray and press the herring firmly into it, coating each side of each fish as much as possible. Now, place the fish, skin-side down, on a well-buttered grill pan and lightly dab with butter. Cook under a medium grill for approximately 7 minutes. Transfer the herring to hot plates and serve with a large lemon wedge.
