Salted Herring

Salted Herring

EverydaySaltedRaw

Salted herring is a preserved fish prepared through traditional dry-curing or brining methods that intensify its naturally rich flavor while extending shelf life. This preparation retains the fish’s high omega-3 fatty acid content but significantly increases sodium levels, requiring consideration for sodium-restricted diets. The firm, dense flesh and bold briny taste make it a staple in Scandinavian and Northern European cuisines, often served thinly sliced, soaked to reduce saltiness, or incorporated into dishes like pickled herring and smørrebrød open-faced sandwiches.
