Atlantic Herring

Latin name: Clupea harengus

Atlantic herring is in its own right one of the most abundant fish species of the world. It can be found along both sides of Northern Atlantic, congregating in large schools. Each school may account for more than three billion individual fishes. Atlantic herring can grow up to 45 centimeters and weigh up to 0,7 kg. Herring feeds with krill and other small fishes and is also an essential source of the feed for more substantial fish itself. Herring has been traditionally one of the primary protein sources for Europeans. Wars have been waged over herring stocks, and numerous coastal communities were founded because of it. Today – despite the abundance of other species on the table, herring is still beloved in many available forms: pickled, smoked, canned, or fresh, herring is still Nr. 1 on the table. We carefully select the herring stocks offered to our customers, ensuring the needs of the end-user to be fulfilled.
