Atlantic herring (Clupea Harengus)
Most of the herring marketed in Europe is canned and either pickled or smoked. Fresh herring is delicious and versatile, but it’s rare to find well-handled fresh product in the European markets. Fresh, whole herring should be bright with hard bellies. The meat of fresh herring is off-white and soft. Small fresh herring have a more delicate flavor while larger herring have a fuller, oilier flavor.
