Where it comes fromFillet

On the grill

Herring is small, oily and quick. A hinged grill basket keeps the delicate fillets from falling through the grate when you turn them.

The oiliness means it forgives a little more heat than a lean white fish would, but it still only needs a couple of minutes a side.
