Marinerede Sild (uden rugbrød)
Marinated Herring (without Rye Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rye bread. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Danish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A cornerstone of Danish cuisine, featuring cured herring fillets marinated in a sweet and sour brine, often with onions and spices. Traditionally served on rye bread, which must be omitted for keto. A keto-friendly serving would include just the herring with its accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Herring fillets, vinegar, water, sweetener (for keto-friendly brine, if not already low sugar), onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, dill. Served with capers and raw red onion.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rye bread. Confirm the marinade is low in sugar; some traditional recipes use significant sugar. Ask for extra raw onion and capers.
Say this to the waiter (Danish)
Jeg vil gerne have Marinerede Sild uden rugbrød. Er marinaden lav på sukker? Må jeg få ekstra rå løg og kapers?
I'll have the Marinerede Sild without rye bread. Is the marinade low in sugar? Can I get extra raw onion and capers?
Watch out for
Rye bread, high sugar content in traditional marinade, potential for sugary 'curry' or 'mustard' herring types.
