roll mops were actually raw herrings and soaked in vinegar and onions. this method would be called baked herring/mackerel.

i do mackerel similar but a simpler method.

fillet and bone the fillets.

lots of ground pepper on the flesh side then roll them starting with the tail end with skin out and hold together with a cocktail stick.

i usually fit around 16 fillets in a deep tray. cover them to half way with 50/50 vinegar and water. cover with tin foil and bake.

as soon as they are done, drain liquid off.

they can be eaten while stil warm or as i prefer them cold.

the vinegar takes away a lot of the oil leaving them nice and dry. my mate eats them like strawberry,s

I make my own similar to as mentioned before.

My mate has a bar and takes a few jars a week from me, there is no better food with a beer!

I used to love eating Roll Mops when I was young but as DabCatcher says, I think they were marinated only, not actually cooked. Don't see them now too often unless you travel on one of these Scandinavian Ferries like DFDS UK to Continent.

Used to get some cracking ones off an old chap in Cornwall who sadly is no longer with us.
I am sure he just used to marinade them though and he used Mackeral, they were great.
He did tell me the recipe but as it was not written down I can`t remeber it. :giveup: more`s the pity.
