Canape (the word came from the French) - small sandwiches, planted on skewers, which are sent to the mouth entirely, without biting a piece. The canape is made from toast, or thin, small slices of bread, and can be greased with pâté, butter, melted cheese or some paste-like mixtures. Top slices of any other ingredients - it can be slices of different products (fish, meat, cheese, fruit vegetables, etc.).
Usually canapés are served as a light snack for aperitifs or cocktails, as an option - for coffee or tea. Canapes are especially convenient for receptions and celebratory tables - at meal you do not spoil hands.
Tell you how to make canapé with herring on skewers. All the above recipes of canape with herring suggest the use of salted or pickled herring fillets, cut into pieces, varieties and subspecies of herring can be any. Salting herring, or marinate yourself on special recipes, or buy ready-made - it's up to you.

Spicy canape with herring and fresh cucumber
Sometimes herring is sold with caviar, if so - well - we use it in cooking canapes, or you can buy ready-made mixtures based on caviar, or simply spread the bread substrate with oil.
Ingredients:
- Rye bread;
- herring fillets;
- lemon;
- pepper spicy red fresh;
- fresh cucumber;
- herring roe;
- butter, natural;
- greens for decoration (parsley, coriander);
- grains of cumin, coriander and fennel;
- nutmeg grated;
- skewers.
Preparation
We cut the bread into slices, and, in turn, into pieces of the right size. Dried in a toaster or on a baking sheet in the oven. To dry up to a state of a crackling crunch it is not necessary. Herring fillets (without skin) are cut into pieces of this size, so that each end-to-end is placed on a piece of bread, and marinate in lemon juice (you can add a little vermouth) for at least 10 minutes, then throw it back on the sieve - let the marinade drain.
Cucumber cut into oval slices. Softened butter is mixed with caviar and nutmeg. We spread the toast with a flat, unbroken layer. Seeds of coriander and fennel cumin are filled in a hand mill and melem, sprinkled on top. For each piece we put a leaf or two greens and next to it is a tiny thin ring of hot red pepper. It turns out - super, the guests will be delighted. Now we put a piece of herring on top and the last layer is a slice of cucumber. We fasten with a skewer. Such canapés can be served well under vodka, bitter tincture, gin, vermouth, light table wine or beer.
Similarly, canapes are made with herring and kiwi. Peeled kiwi slices or slices - they will go to the last layer instead of cucumber. Kiwi is very unusual, but it harmonizes the taste of herring very harmoniously.
