Forshmak is a dish of German origin, and originally it was a hot appetizer. In the same capacity, it came to Russian cuisine during the time of Peter the Great. It was made from raw and boiled meat, from vegetables and mushrooms - but always with the addition of herring.

Preparing it from only salted fish, without meat, was much cheaper, which was appreciated in poor towns.
