BRINGING HERRING TO THE WORLD
Herring has played an important role in the history of Norway for centuries. Our first fisheries began over a 1000 years ago and we have been one of Europe’s biggest suppliers of herring ever since. While times have changed – customers now prefer frozen fillets to salted and smoked herring – the herring industry remains vital to our economy today. In fact, the importance of this fish within our economy, combined with its striking appearance, has earned herring the nickname ‘the silver of the sea’.
With centuries of experience in harvesting this silvery fish, we know that where you catch herring makes a real difference to its taste. We’d like to share some of this knowledge with you, so that you know what to look for and when to buy.
