Delicate, cured Matjes herring fillets served in a creamy sauce with diced apples, onions, and gherkins. Traditionally accompanied by boiled potatoes, which must be omitted for a keto version.

Key ingredients

Matjes herring fillets, sour cream/yogurt, cream, onion, gherkins, apple (small amount), dill, salt, pepper.

If you order it anyway

Crucially, omit the boiled potatoes. Ask for the sauce to be made with minimal or no apple, and no added sugar if possible.

If you order it anyway, say this (German)

Matjesfilet Hausfrauenart bitte ohne Salzkartoffeln. Könnte die Soße mit wenig oder ohne Apfel und ohne Zuckerzusatz zubereitet werden?

Matjesfilet Hausfrauenart without boiled potatoes please. Could the sauce have minimal or no apple and no added sugar?

Watch out for

Boiled potatoes (must be omitted), apples in the sauce (can be a significant carb source, request minimal or none), hidden sugars in the creamy sauce, some commercial Matjes preparations.
