Fish Under Veggies Salad (Russian “Fish In The Coat “)
by Olga, on October 15, 2013
This is the “King” salad, very popular at any Holiday or family celebration in Russia. Made with layers of cooked vegetables.
The sweetness of beets in combination with lightly salted fish and other vegetables gives that delicious flavor to the salad.
Depending on your taste, some people like to add the layer of fresh chopped onion in between.
This recipe uses the marinaded herring fillets. Canned salted herring is good to use as well.
Cook potato and carrots separately from beets, otherwise beets will color all your vegetables. Check them for readiness carefully with the fork, don’t overcook. Take vegetables out from water and cool completely before cutting. Cook eggs for 12 minutes in water. Take eggs out and cool in icy cold water.
Shred all vegetables and eggs in separate bowl.
Place half of potato evenly spreading on a bigger plate. Dice two herring fillets and spread them over the potato.
Cover with the layer of carrot and then beets. Spread half of mayonaise over the vegetables, then sprinkle with half of eggs over the mayonaise.
Repeat all layers, starting with potato, herring fillets, carrot, beets, mayonaise. Leave eggs for the decoration.
Garnish top of the salad with remaining eggs.

Hi, my name is Olga. I would like to welcome you to my site.
I created it first of all, to save my family’s recipes and then to share them with my friends and those who have tasted some Russian/Ukrainian food and liked it. But I also would like to introduce it to those who haven’t yet, but would like to.
I will try to keep my recipes simple, but there are few that might require more prep time or ingredients for preparation. You will also find some of my family’s favorite American recipes here and other international cuisines.
I thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will fall in love with Russian/Ukrainian food and will come back again.
