About Baltic herring

Baltic herring is herring caught in the Baltic Sea, a regional fish product rather than a single preparation. The fish has a silvery exterior and oily flesh with a characteristic savoury, marine flavour; size and fatness can vary with season and catch.

It is sold whole or prepared as fillets, and may be cooked fresh, salted, smoked, pickled, or otherwise preserved. These forms have different textures and flavours: fresh flesh is relatively soft when cooked, while smoking, salting, or pickling changes its moisture and taste.
