That must be a scratch & sniff image

I see failed to post pic

Are the herring used for human consumption as in the past ?I saw a interesting photo of braided herring i think dried . i have heard of pickled herring but never tried it . Is it similar to a sardine ?

Canned herring are similar to canned sardines. Only way I've ate herring. They make good fish bait.

I've had pickled herring, smoked herring, canned herring, and creamed herring.
I enjoy them all, in small doses.

We braid and dry herring here in western alaska by the ton. Also make about 20 gallons of pickled herring and give away lots of it. Love herring its a great fish if you can figure out the bones.

Pickling takes care of the bones. Our favorite way to put them up.

I love Scandinavian style pickled herring; Russian style not so much.
Not enough vinegar and spices in the Russian style.
Also, forget the sour cream.

I'd just forget the herring and stick with the razor clams; yum!

And, Tatiana, "herring under a coat" is the main way I've had them, not particularly my favorite dish (is that the one that has the purple colored beet coating on top?)
The recipe with the spices sounds good.
