Having grown up in Denmark, I am obviously highly partial to this combination. However, I have to say that when it comes to Matjes herring, the Dutch variety is hard to beat. When it is in season, I buy it from the fishmonger at our outdoors market every Saturday; they are nice enough to include finely chopped onion in a little sack. It is absolutely heavenly.
