Atlantic Herring

Everyday

Atlantic herring is a small, nutrient-dense forage fish abundant in the North Atlantic's cold waters. This oily fish is exceptionally rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, along with substantial amounts of vitamin D and B12, supporting cardiovascular and neurological health. Commonly prepared as pickled 'rollmops,' smoked kippers, or canned products, herring serves as both a sustainable seafood choice and a culinary staple in Northern European traditions.
