How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pickled herring, this homestyle version is typically in a cream-based sauce rather than a vinegar brine. This results in a milder, richer flavor and a creamier texture. The preparation is also different, with homestyle herring usually being fully cooked and ready to eat without marinating.
