About Herring

Herring is a small, oily fish commonly found in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, widely appreciated in European, Scandinavian, and Baltic cuisines. Rich in essential nutrients, herring is an excellent source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and B vitamins including B12, which support brain, heart, and immune health. Its omega-3 content may help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular wellness. Herring is also a natural source of selenium, an antioxidant that aids in cellular protection. While herring is typically consumed smoked, pickled, or raw in dishes like herring salad or sushi, its preparation can influence its health profile—pickled versions may be high in sodium. Overall, herring is a nutrient-dense, heart-healthy option that complements a balanced diet.
