Make sure the herring are completely dry before preparing them.

Prepare about 1 cup of flour and mix in Old Bay seasoning or Cajun spice and a little salt.

Scramble one egg in a bowl.

Place the herring in a Ziploc bag with the scrambled egg and seal it tightly.

Shake the Ziploc bag to coat the herring with the egg mixture.

Open the Ziploc bag and pour the flour and spice mixture into the bag with the herring.

Seal the bag again and shake to coat the herring evenly with the flour mixture.

Pour about 1 cup of canola oil into the bottom of two baking pans.

Place the coated herring in the baking pans, ensuring there is space between them to prevent sticking.

Add a little more oil over the top of the herring if desired.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, checking for doneness.

After 30-40 minutes, baste the herring with the juices and oils from the pan.

Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Let the herring cool to room temperature before serving.
