„traditional matie herring dishes“
Glückstadt’s Specialty
Matie, also called soused herring, is a specialty of the Nordic cuisine. It is a pickled raw herring that is very mildly salted and easily digestible. The dish is made from immature herrings and traditionally ripened in oak barrels. This tradition came into existence in the Middle Ages. Glückstadt’s matie is known for its mild taste and sold internationally.

Sealed Quality
Our matie herrings are traditionally produced by Heiko Raumann in Glückstadt. He uses the original recipe of Helmut Sievers who invented the mildly salted version of the traditional dish. Along with the former mayor of Glückstadt, Dr. Manfred Bruhn, Sievers initiated Glückstadt’s matie weeks – an annual public festival in our city. Heiko Raumann has been making matie in small quantities since 1993. This is how he ensures the superb quality of the herring.
