Rollmops are pickled herring fillets, rolled into cylindrical shapes around a filling, typically of sliced gherkins or onions, and held together with small skewers or toothpicks.
Rollmops are a traditional German dish, often associated with northern Germany, where herring is a common staple due to the proximity to the sea. The practice of pickling fish dates back centuries as a method of preservation.
Rollmops have a tangy and slightly sweet taste due to the vinegar brine used in pickling the herring. The filling adds a crunchy and savory element.
