My children always make sure they're home when they find out we're having these pockets for dinner. They're a smart way to use leftover pot roast.

Fish & Seafood

Pickled Herring with Sour Cream and Onion

The local herring season in San Francisco arrives in December or January, and we fillet, salt, and pickle thousands of these tasty baitfish during their short season. We make a big bucket of fish sauce every year with the remnants of the herring that didn’t get pickled. If you choose to do so, we highly recommend that you go way out in the country away from neighbors. We cover the bones with solé and let it sit for a year at room temperature. Then we strain it and let it age for another 6 months. It can be used in just about anything; we like it in the green chili fish stew.
