There is a dish that is strongly associated with the New Year Holidays. I'm sure you know him well. It's hard to imagine a good festive table without a herring familiar from childhood under a fur coat!
This delicious salad appeared at a time when the most simple products it was very difficult to get, but Soviet housewives knew how to set masterpiece tables, having only potatoes, beets and carrots in stock.
Shuba is a very simple dish. It does not have a strict number of components. In my recipe, the amount of ingredients is enough for 7-8 servings.
Since the advent of the original Soviet recipe“fur coats” there are many more options for this hearty salad. What then, what now, all the housewives prepared it at least a little differently. I myself experiment all the time with the amount of ingredients and the recipe, although most of all I like the classic herring under a fur coat, the recipe of which appeared in our house from my grandmother.
The classic “fur coat” is an easy-to-cook dish that novice housewives and teenagers can handle. So there is nothing to be afraid of.
Remember one thing: in order for the herring to turn out “correct” and tasty, you need to make the dish in advance and leave it to infuse in the refrigerator. In 3-4 hours it becomes even tastier (and simply delicious overnight), all layers are saturated and you have the very taste of childhood on the table.
For a salad, it is important to choose fresh oily fish and cut it well. Divide the fish into two fillets and remove the bones.
What to do with vegetables? Potatoes, beets and carrots can be boiled or baked. As a rule, I bake potatoes, but I boil carrots and beets. At the same time, I boil the eggs, cool them in cold water, then peel them.
The apple (or apples) must also be peeled. I advise you to grate all the ingredients, and not cut. Grated vegetables, eggs and apples in a salad feel more tender.
It is most delicious to make herring under a fur coat according to a recipe with “sweet” onions - for example, with white salad.
Now it's time to lay out the ingredients. Place them one by one on a plate.
What is good about a herring salad under a fur coat: its taste does not bother you for a long time and you can eat it for a long time, since the “real” fur coat is even tastier than fresh.
Herring under a fur coat according to any recipe is very convenient to prepare: you can fill it as a whole dish, or place it in portioned rosettes.
Tip: Serve the "fur coat" with fresh hot bread. Eating it with him is amazing!
Boil potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs.
Herring MUST be taken whole (from a can or from a barrel, in no case in oil). We clean the herring, remove it from the ridge, tear out all the ribs ... cut the fillet into cubes (about 0.7-1 cm each) ... ALWAYS tear out all the protruding small bones.
We set aside the herring. We take a large, necessarily FLAT plate (so the layers will be smoother):
1st layer - grate the potatoes - 1cm thick
Lubricate thoroughly with mayonnaise (preferably mayonnaise from a bag, make a hole so that the mayonnaise flows in a thin stream).
2nd layer - herring (for 1 large plate 1.5 herrings...
maybe 1) mayonnaise
3rd layer - finely chopped onion - a thin layer of mayonnaise
4- layer - rub the eggs - 0.5 cm ... (so that the previous layers are not visible) mayonnaise
5th layer - grate the carrots - 0.5 cm (so that the previous layers are not visible) mayonnaise
6th layer - beets - 1 cm (so that the previous layers are not visible) Pour the beets with plenty of mayonnaise and smear them well.
Garnished with finely chopped green onions and roses from the remaining beets and carrots. Practice shows that the more mayonnaise in the COAT, the better.

"Herring under a fur coat": a classic recipe and all layers
By the way, in winter and summer, even by cooking according to one recipe, you can get different tastes from this salad. It depends on the fact that in summer the herring is made more brine so that it does not deteriorate during transportation at elevated temperatures. In winter, it is less salty and it is very felt.
If you buy preserves for salad, then remember that herring is stored only in oil, it should not be in vinegar filling. If this is on the shelves of the store, perhaps they are trying to hide something from you. It is better to choose in oil with herbs.
Ingredients:
- 2 herrings
- 2 carrots
- 2 beets
- 2 potatoes
- Mayonnaise
We clean and chop the herring.
Boil vegetables in advance until tender.
We will cook without onions, because the salad can stand in the refrigerator for a while, and the onions will quickly begin to deteriorate.
It is better to grate the vegetables, rather than cut them, so the salad will turn out more uniform and tender.
Now we start laying out the layers in order, they may vary a little, but usually they do as it is written below.
1 row (layer): Herring.
2 row: potatoes and mayonnaise.
3rd row: eggs.
4th row: carrots.
5 row: beets and mayonnaise.
By the way, you can not pickle the onion, but simply scald it with boiling water. But in the classic recipe, according to which our family cooks, there is no place for onions in this salad.
"Herring under a fur coat": a classic recipe with an egg
But various modernizations of this salad have already gone, for example, with the addition of eggs. We take five of them, but only three go to the salad, the remaining two are used as decoration.
Take small vegetables, it's easier to adjust to the proportions. By the way, you may be lucky and know where herring fillets are sold near you! Then you will reduce the cooking time of the salad.
Ingredients:
- Boiled beets - 2 pcs.
- Boiled carrots - 1 pc.
- Boiled potatoes - 1 pc.
- Eggs - 5 pcs.
- Onion - 2 heads
- Herring - 1 pc.

We clean the herring and cut it. Try to remove all bones.
All other boiled products must be grated and put in different containers.
Lubricate the plate on which you plan to spread the salad with mayonnaise.
The first row or layer is pickled onions. It was cut in advance and poured with 1 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp. Sahara. After half an hour, the onion is ready, drain the liquid.
In the second layer we will lay herring pieces.
The third layer is potatoes and mayonnaise.
Fourth row: eggs.
Fifth row: carrots and mayonnaise.
Immediately mix the beetroot with mayonnaise to make it more convenient to apply it to the salad, because it goes with the finishing layer.
You can decorate with eggs or pieces of greens.
Beets after boiled in water, you need to cool cold water. It has the ability to cook in cold water.
Step-by-step recipe for "Herring under a fur coat" roll with a photo of the sequence of layers
Now the housewives compete in the unusual serving of dishes. For example, a salad in the form of a roll will look royal on the table and will cause a lot of curious looks, and it will disperse much faster than other dishes, you will see.
You will need cling film to help fold the edges of the layers. To feel the taste well, take 2-3 herring fillets.
Ingredients:
- 3 boiled carrots
- 4 beets
- 3 boiled potatoes
- 1 onion
- 3 eggs
- Parsley

1 row or layer: grated boiled beets and mayonnaise.
2nd row: salted boiled carrots with mayonnaise.
3 layer: grated potatoes, salt and mayonnaise.

You can see more about how to wrap the edges in the video.
"Herring under a fur coat": a classic recipe with an apple and all the layers in order
An apple makes the taste of the salad more varied. You need to choose a firm juicy green variety. Some of the apples still squeeze the juice a little more, but I think that this is superfluous. So just peel it off and dribble.
Ingredients:
- 1 carrot

- 1 sour apple
- 1 potato

"Herring under a fur coat" in pita bread, I give a recipe with a photo
I often see this salad as an appetizer. Then a piece of herring is laid out on top. But you need to cook it before serving so that the pita bread does not get wet from juices and mayonnaise. You need to cut the pita bread with the filling thicker, 3-4 centimeters, then it will be more stable and the filling will not fall out of the layers.
Ingredients:
- 1 large boiled beetroot
- 1 herring
- 1 thin lavash
- 1 boiled carrot
- 3 medium potatoes
- Mayonnaise
In order not to paint the entire kitchen in beetroot color, we will use cling film. Lavash cut into 2 parts. If you have a large one, then you can divide it into four.
Let's spread pita bread on it. It is very dry, so we will grease it with a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Put the grated beets on the pita bread and be sure to press down a little with your hands.
Another layer of pita bread on top.
Remember that we grease its surface with mayonnaise, on top of which we put grated carrots.
Again a layer of pita bread and mayonnaise, over which we lay out the grated potatoes.
Now we roll up our entire “cake” and tie it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator.
We did not put herring in it, because we will cut it in portions for each piece of pita bread with salad.
But you can put it between carrots and potatoes in the middle layer.
"Herring under a fur coat" with cheese
Here we have no carrots, no onions, no eggs. We make a simpler variation of the salad. But it still turns out very nutritious and tender.
Each product can be mixed separately in bowls with mayonnaise or sour cream to make it easier to lay out and spread over the surface.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 small boiled beets
- 2 middle boiled potatoes

Ingredients:

- 1 beetroot
- 1 carrot
- 1 potato

As they did before: everything that can be boiled - boil and chop.
It is tastier to lay out potatoes with mayonnaise first. To make it tastier, salt and pepper this layer.
We evenly lay out slices of pickled or pickled cucumber on it. Definitely, let's drink.
Soak the top with mayonnaise sauce.
Salad "Herring under a fur coat" with pickled onions
Sourness in such compositions of nutritious salads has never interfered. Often it is added using a pickled cucumber, but you can add a pickled onion instead. It is placed either immediately on the herring, or separately mixed with the herring and then laid out.
It is better to lay out the potatoes first so that the onion juice and mayonnaise miss it and it is not dryish in the salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 herring
- 1 large boiled beetroot
- 2 medium potatoes
- 2 boiled chicken eggs
- 1 carrot

Unusual royal recipe "Herring under a fur coat" with gelatin (in the form of a cake)
And just one ingredient allows you to make a masterpiece out of a salad, for example, form it in the shape of a cake or a regular circle. And all this without fear that the salad will fall apart. The whole point is in the addition of gelatin. The downside is that the finished salad must stand in the refrigerator for half a day for the gelatin to harden. Not everyone wants to wait.
So, to the diluted gelatin, you need to introduce all the mayonnaise that you plan to spend on the salad. And then add a few tablespoons of this gelatin mixture to each crushed product.
Ingredients:
- 20 gr gelatin
- 1 herring
- 300 gr boiled carrots
- 300 gr medium potatoes

In advance, pickle the onion in a solution of water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Chop or chop all boiled vegetables.
Finely chop the herring fillet and mix with pickled onion pieces.
We cover the form with cling film.
Dilute gelatin using water bath or microwave. Remember that we do not bring it to a boil!
Mix 350 g of mayonnaise with gelatin and mix. Mix all vegetables with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with gelatin.
First row: Beets with gelatin mixture. 
Second row: potatoes with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise-gelatin mass.
Third row: herring with onions and the same sauce.
Fifth layer: carrots with mayonnaise mixture.

Festive classic salad from herring under a vegetable coat.
- 2 small herrings (or 1 large)
- 500 g potatoes
- 500 g carrots
- 500 g beets
- 100 g onion
- 4 eggs
- 250 g mayonnaise
- salt
From this list of ingredients, you get a large dish of herring under a fur coat, just right for a holiday in the company. If you cook on weekdays, you can reduce the amount of ingredients by half.
Herring for the recipe, it is advisable to take the usual barrel (from saline). If you use ready-made herring fillets in oil, then, in my opinion, the taste ready meal due to oil and spices, it worsens significantly.
In many regions of the post-Soviet space, a fur coat is prepared not with eggs, but with apples. I still prefer a fur coat with eggs, in my opinion, it tastes more tender. If you decide to cook with apples, simply replace the layer of eggs with a layer of grated apples.
Cooking:
Boil the beets in a saucepan for 1-2 hours (depending on the variety and size of the beets). Cool down.
Boil potatoes and carrots in salted water for 30-40 minutes (the knife should easily pierce vegetables). Cool down.
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes from the moment of boiling. Cool by pouring cold water.
We split the herring.
Cut off the head of the herring, cut along the belly, clean out the insides.
Rinse the herring thoroughly inside and out.
Next, make a cut on the back, cutting out the upper fin at the same time.
Next, evenly grabbing the skin from the head, gently pull and remove the skin like a glove up to the tail (as in the photo). Then do the same on the other side.
Then cut out all the fins and tail.
Carefully inspect and remove any remaining costal bones (as pictured), as well as any bones you can find.
Cut the herring fillet into small pieces.
Peel potatoes, grate on a medium grater.
Peel the eggs, grate on a medium grater.
Peel the carrots, grate on a medium grater.
Peel the beets, grate on a medium grater.
Peel the onion, finely chop, put in a bowl.
Pour boiling water over, drain the water after a couple of minutes (this is done so that the onion does not become bitter and becomes less spicy).
Take a large flat dish (I have a dish with an internal diameter of 20 cm) or take two smaller plates, then you get two fur coats.
If you have mayonnaise in a bag, cut off a very small corner from the bag. If the mayonnaise is in a jar, then put it in a bag and cut off a small corner in the same way.
We begin to lay out the ingredients on the dish.
Put the potatoes, salt, pour evenly with mayonnaise (I didn’t spread the mayonnaise with a spoon so as not to crush the layers, then the fur coat turns out to be more tender and airy).
Put pieces of herring, pour over with mayonnaise.

- We collect the salad in layers: 1 layer - grated potatoes soaked in mayonnaise; 2 - herring with onions; 3 "floor" - grated eggs; 4 - carrots with mayonnaise. We complete the salad with grated beets, which we carefully coat with mayonnaise on top.
Calling such an appetizer “herring” is wrong, because there are no herring among the ingredients at all, but it is quite possible to replace it with nori seaweed, which are used to make sushi. Moreover, this kind of salad will appeal not only to vegetarians, but also to all people who adhere to fasting.

Finished dish decoration
Most housewives decorate the appetizer with a mayonnaise net, but the dish will turn out to be more festive if you decorate its top with roses, as in the photo of a finished herring under a fur coat. Cut a small boiled beet with a thin small knife in a circle, making something like a snake out of it. Wrap it in a rosebud and place it on a salad. Make parsley leaves. 
Use grated egg yolks to brighten up the appetizer. Olive rings will also make a colorful accent in festive dish. The originality of the decoration depends only on your imagination.
The taste of the finished dish directly depends on the quality of the products. When choosing the main ingredient for a snack - herring, consider its freshness, fat content, and degree of salinity. It is better that it be oily and moderately salty. When buying fish, give preference to a whole carcass, rather than pieces of fillets in preserves.
Pay attention to the brine in the barrel: a cloudy color, an unpleasant smell should repel you from buying such a product. Fresh fish is smooth to the touch without visible damage (cracks, cuts).
Do you want to buy herring with caviar? Opt for fish with cloudy eyes, while herring with reddish eyes will be fatter and meatier. The main indicator of fish freshness is the condition of the gills. In fresh herring, they are dark red in color, dense in texture, without a bitter, rotten smell.
- Grate the vegetables directly onto the plate on which you are building the appetizer. So the dish will be more airy, delicate in taste.
- Use carrots and beets in equal proportions, and take twice as many potatoes.
- Buy only whole herring from a barrel, and not fillets in preserves, so that the snack is really tasty and nutritious.
- If possible, cook mayonnaise at home with your own hands. Then your dish will definitely not spoil the taste of poor-quality rancid sauce.
- Before serving "Herring under a fur coat", soak it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
The history of the name of the dish "Herring under a fur coat"
There is a legend about the cook Aristarkh Prokoptsev, who, back in 1918, came up with a cheap hearty meal so that the guests of the tavern eat it and get less drunk from drinking.
After the high-calorie snacks eaten by visitors, alcohol did not act on their bodies so aggressively. They no longer had heated arguments that turned into fights. In the snack, he used only available and inexpensive products. And the name of the novelty was given to "Chauvinism and Decadence - Boycott and Anathema", the abbreviation of which sounds like "SH.U.B.A.".
