Herring pie (MoF)
From Cookipedia
From the Ministry of Food leaflet "All about Herrings" - reprinted in 1948!
I had no idea what lemon substitute might have been, but editor Roses2at has done a little research and has come up with either apple peel or citric acid - see the comments page for more details.
