Jamaican solomon gundy recipe
In Jamaican cuisine, Solomon Gundy is a pickled (with salt) fish pâté usually served with crackers as an appetizer. In Nova Scotia, the same term is used to refer to pickled herring and onion.

The Jamaican pâté is made with smoked red herring (although other fish such as mackerel and shad are also sometimes used) and is minced and spiced with chili peppers and seasonings. The dish appears on the menus of Jamaican restaurants and resorts. It is also sold as a packaged food for export.
Just plain pickled herring and onion is referred to as Solomon Gundy in Nova Scotia.
The term may come from the British word salmagundi, used to refer to a salad of many different ingredients. That term is originally from the French word salmigondis, which refers to a disparate assembly of things, ideas or people, forming an incoherent whole (a hodgepodge).
