Heh from pike perch with beets
It’s not at all difficult to give fish a touch of Russian cuisine. For example, hye with beets is an unusual interpretation of a Korean appetizer, visually evoking memories of herring salad under a fur coat. You can get an unusual red fish if you add raw beets, grated into small strips, to the fish pieces along with carrots and onions.
You can pre-simmer the vegetables in a frying pan - this will partially change the taste and texture, but many people like this variation even more than the traditional one.
Heh is a spicy fish in Korean. Heh from zander, pike.
Recipe 1
Clean the fish (pike perch, pike or carp) from scales, entrails and bones (or take ready-made fillets). Cut the fillet into thin strips, place in a wide-bottomed bowl in a 2 cm thick layer and pour over 70% vinegar. Without stirring, cover with a lid and leave for 10-15 minutes. Cut the onion into strips, peel the garlic and heat the oil to a boil. After opening the fish (it should turn white), place chopped onion on one half, sprinkle with red hot pepper and pour over hot oil. Sprinkle the other half with ground black pepper, ground coriander and squeeze out the garlic. Mix everything, pour over soy sauce. Stir again and leave for 20 minutes.
Recipe 2
Ingredients: 1 kg of herring - preferable (although you can use other fish: halibut, salmon - sockeye salmon, chinook salmon, coho salmon, chum salmon; scallop, cod or pollock are also suitable), 1 kg of carrots (you can use daikon radish or carrots and radish ), 200 g table vinegar, 20 g soy sauce, 1 pc. onions, 10 g garlic, red hot pepper to taste, 10 g vegetable oil, 1 g sesame seeds, 30 g sugar, salt to taste.
Preparation: Cut the fish fillet, skinned and boned, into strips 5 cm long, 0.5 cm thick (scallop into slices). Place in an enamel bowl, pour vinegar and stir. Leave in this form for 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut carrots or radishes or a mixture of both into thin strips and lightly salt. Then place the fish on a sieve and let it drain. Mix fish with vegetables with the addition of salt, thinly sliced onion, garlic, crushed sesame seeds, and sugar. You can also add vinegar to taste.
Recipe 3
To prepare heh, the fish must be large and, preferably, a predatory species. It could be pike, pike perch, trout. But you can make heh from silver carp, carp, and catfish. The fish must be fresh.
We took pike perch weighing 4 kg, onions - 0.5 kg, carrots - 0.5 kg, salt, black and red pepper (but you can use any of your favorite seasonings), a clove of garlic, vinegar, vegetable oil (olive).
Clean the fish from scales, gut it, wash it. After making an incision along the upper edge of the back, remove the skin, since large fish have tough skin. Once the skin is removed, you need to carefully separate the flesh from the bones. Cut the fillet into pieces; the smaller the pieces, the faster the fish will marinate. Grate the carrots, cut the onion into half rings and combine everything. Salt the fish and onions with carrots and pepper with black pepper, mix well. Pour 4% vinegar over fish and carrots and onions; if you like it spicier, you can increase the concentration of vinegar. Leave to marinate overnight. In the morning, drain all excess liquid from the fish and carrots. Combine everything and mix thoroughly. Finely chop a clove of garlic and pour into the center of the dish with the fish. 0.5 tbsp. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan until smoking appears and pour in 0.5 tsp. red pepper (if you like it hotter, add more). When the oil boils, pour it into the fish in the center on the garlic, and then over the entire surface. Stir the fish and let cool. Boil the potatoes, set the table and invite them to the table.
Heh from pike perch
To prepare Heh, we need pike perch, or rather pike perch fillet. Finely chop the pike perch fillet, add salt, then marinate in vinegar. For a 700-gram pike-perch fillet, use 1 tbsp. a spoonful of vinegar essence (exactly the essence to make the fish turn white). Let the fish marinate for 2 hours. Now take the onions, lightly fry them in a frying pan until transparent and set them to cool. Take fresh cucumbers and cut them into pieces comparable in size to pieces of fish. Salt the chopped cucumbers and set aside for 1 hour. After the fish has been marinated, squeeze it thoroughly to remove excess vinegar. Squeeze the previously prepared cucumbers, then combine the fish, cucumbers and fried chilled onions. Mix it all, then add finely chopped cilantro, season the resulting dish with red and black pepper, crushed garlic and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and, in principle, you can eat. But it’s better to be patient and let the dish sit for a while to soak and infuse. The ratio of fish, onion and cucumber is according to personal preference. I did it in approximately equal parts. For my taste, an amazing snack with vodka. Bon appetit!

How to catch more fish?
Every avid fisherman undoubtedly has his own secrets for successful fishing. Over the course of conscious fishing, I myself have found quite a few ways to improve the bite. I share my TOP:
- Bite activator. Stimulates a strong appetite in fish, attracting them even in cold water. The pheromones included in its composition are to blame. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
- Correct selection of gear. Read the relevant manuals for a specific type of gear on the pages of my website.
- Pheromone -based lures .
