Fermented Herring question

[kuddlesworth9419]

I bought some fermented herring off the internet to try it and I have a lot left over so does anyone know how long this stuff lasts fr outside the can. I don't want to give myself food poisoning.

It should be fine if it's in a salt lake(or whatever that liquid in the can is called) and in a somewhat airtight container.

As long as it's properly made, it should last for a couple of days, what's going to happen later on is that the taste gets a lot stronger. It's like those cheeses that go way past their expiration date and is served as a delicacy.

 

I just did a few searced on norwegian fermented herring, it's quite a big deal here.

Is this really the place to ask about that?

 

Go to fish forums

If you can put the lid back on it in the water it came in it should last 2-3 weeks no problem in the fridge

Shame because I chucked the brine and froze the fish. I obviously have a strong stomach and smell because it's not even that bad. My family disagree however. I suppose it's being a chef.
