Said to have been one of the Queen mother's favorite dishes

4 herrings (cleaned)
4 oz/100 g/2/3 cup medium oatmeal
2 tsp salt
pinch of pepper fat for frying

Once the herring are deboned, mix the salt and pepper with the oatmeal and baste both sides of each herring - applying the baste with a firm touch.

Heat some fat in the frying pan, and fry over a medium heat. Cook each side for approximately three minutes until they turn a light shade of brown. Once the fish is drained, you can serve it with suitable garnish.
