This should work with herring. I've never had herring but it appears to be the same type of fish.

1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup scallions cut into 1 inch pieces( I like them a little smaller)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp peanut oil
1 Tbsp sherry
1 tsp finely minced ginger
1/8 tsp sugar
2 pounds of mackerel

Combine celery, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, oil, sherry, ginger and sugar in a bowl, set aside

score both sides of the fish, 3-4 cuts each side, place the fish in a shallow baking dish, Spoon the vegetable mixture over the fish. Or cut the piece into 1 inch pieces. I prefer this way. The fish gets more surface area for soaking up the flavors

Place the dish in a steamer and steam for about 25 minutes.

If you don't have a steamer, use a roasting pan that has a lid, or a soup pot.
Invert some custard cups, coffee cups, used tuna cans,etc. You need about an inch of water on the bottom and the baking dish should not touch the bottom of the pan.

I've tried this with cod, salmon, and tuna steaks. It works with them all.

I just had the thought that this would be a great way to prepare tofu.

sounds quite good, the strong flavours of each offsetting the other! Thank you
