Whole Herring, Raw
Whole herring is a small, oily fish native to the North Atlantic, consumed raw with its skin, bones, and organs intact. This nutrient-dense fish is exceptionally high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, while its small size results in lower mercury levels compared to larger predatory fish. The firm, silvery flesh has a pronounced briny flavor and is often prepared pickled, smoked, or grilled, though raw preparations require strict freshness standards.
