Smoked herring is a daily migratory fish that can dive several hundred metres in search of plankton. Herring is a predator. Young herring feed on copepods and crustaceans. Adults feed mainly on fish (gobies, flatfish, etc.) and various invertebrates. Herring have a slender body with a greenish-brown to dark blue colour on the back and a silvery tinge on the belly. The lower jaw of the herring is slightly protruding.

Smoked herring replaces mackerel in most recipes. Its flesh is white and tasty as well as fatty.

Health benefits of smoked herring

Smoked herring contains large amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. These are fatty acids of the omega-3 family with protective effects on the cardiovascular system.
