: Soak the herring in the milk for at least 12 hours or up to 24 to draw

My grandmother used water, changing it three times during an at least 12
hour soaking period. I remember the dish she soaked it in, an oval with
pink flowers on it tht nicely fit the herring fillets she cut fomr the
whole fish. what a memory! I havn't thought of tht dish in years.
