Menu changes - herring

I'm still working though it all, but I'm hoping for a number of menu changes for this year. Don't worry, Po, the little balls of meat will still be there, but they'll be a little different, I hope.

One of the traditional Danish dishes I've always wanted to serve is Staegte Sild - floured and fried herring that is then marinated. But to do this you need fresh or frozen herring and the only types of herring that are available in the US is either smoked, brined, salted, or marinated. I've spent hours so far trying to find fresh or frozen from a supplier. I even got Jim to contact his friend Joel who owns a HUGE fish business in Atlanta, and even he can't get them. I found one supplier, but it was minimum order of 10 metric tonnes!

So keep your fingers crossed. I love Staegte Sild and I'm sure you all will too.
