Food & Grocery Rollmops

Hi everyone,

I am slowly but surely finding my way around duma without constant GPS.

Have been able to source all the obvious a lot food and a very good selection of euro and aussie foods.

The one item I crave are Rollmps. These are a common food in Northern Europe.

Some people hate it. Obviously I do not.

I have been searching for 4 months now - but just when it looks like a new positive lead in the search - it ends up as another dead end. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Does anyone know where / how I can source them?

Feedback appreciated

 

Hi there,

Casablanca was the surprise dead end.

Wasn't aware the Why Not had a deli, so a new lead.

Thanks

 

I'm pretty sure you know how/where to find Bogart's bar, so ask Andy. If he doesn't have them in stock he might know who does or he can order them...

 

Thanks for the help.

But again dead ends ....

 

Did you try the UK mark at Zip Diner next to the rear Entrance to Tops & Bottoms? he is pretty good at these things

 

Hi nutz , good meeting you last evening , I'm hot on the trail of those herring substitutes , they're caught locally .
I'll scout around today down the highway and in Sibulan market.
In the UK they are know as Donkey Mackerel , or Jacks .
First fillet them , fine bone them with tweezers, then skin 'em , roll them so the tail is innermost . Use toothpicks to secure.
You'll need a glass jar with a wide mouth ( that'll be an English jar then hahahahah) .
If you can find pickling vinegar then that'll do nicely. I used Heinz apple cider vinegar "Pepper perfect " 32 fluid ounce size ( 1 quart ) maybe using datu puti is good too.
I added sliced onion .
It's trial and error as to how long you leave them to souse.
I think I left mine about 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
Good luck and Ingat .

Good hunting !
