Alternatives to herring

While fresh European herring is a popular ingredient in Polish cuisine, it is not available in Australia. Alternatives include imported pickled herring or Australian Herring, which, while unrelated to European herring, is a suitable alternative.

Dried Prawns

Known as camarao seco in Brazilian cooking. Tinely blended to a powder or soaked and ground, these tiny sun-dried prawns add a great depth of flavour to Bahian dishes such as xinxim de galinha.
