| Priddhas an' Herrin' |
I'm a native of
Peel
And I think for a meal
That there's nuthin' like priddhas an' herrin;
I was rared on the quay
An' I
followed the say
An' it's mighty good fishin' I'm
gerrin.

2 Herring per Person
Potatoes
Raw Onion
This is probably the
most renowned of all Manx dishes, and one of the simplest to
prepare.
Use salt herring which have been
soaked in fresh water overnight. Scrub the potatoes, put them in a large
saucepan, and barely cover with water.
When
the potatoes are just over half cooked, lay the herring on top. When both are
cooked, carefully lift out the herring, drain the potatoes and serve with
slices of raw onion and knobs of butter.
This
dish is traditionally served with plenty of buttermilk to
drink.
