About Pacific herring
Pacific herring is a small, oily marine fish eaten fresh or preserved. It may be sold whole or as fillets, and common preserved forms include salted, smoked or pickled fish.
Its flesh is soft and rich-tasting, with a more pronounced oily character than lean whitefish. Preservation changes its flavour and texture, and products prepared with brine, sauces or other additions are not nutritionally interchangeable with fresh fish.
