A friend says he can’t find anyone who will ship herring oil to Minnesota. Sounds fishy to me. But when I started looking for herring oil, I haven’t been able to find any sources at all. Does anyone know who is selling it?

Thanks in advance!

I dont have a clue on quality

I believe Trapper Arts carries it sometimes
Edit just looked on their website and didn't see it. Seems he gets a supply of it occasionally and has it listed from time to time. Might give Adam a call and ask him about it. He's always very helpful when I've called.

Thanks Seth,
I just sent Adam an email. He’s always been good to deal with. I hope he has it.

Grawes has it listed on their site.

I’ve contacted FnT, Schmitt’s, Cumberland’s, Wolfer Nation, Sterling, Trapper Art’s, Dunlop’s, SnareOne, an email to Grawe’s and so on, to no avail. A hunting guide and supply service in Canada said he just shipped a pint to the states. The pint plus shipping was just under $50. He suggested contacting the fish processing cooperative in Alaska. But since the fisheries collapse there, few processors are operating.

H&B Oils Center, which is attached to EBay has it so I’ll check them out. It’s a good thing I’m retired.

Grawe’s has it. $15 a pint!!

The herring oil that I have doesn't have much odor, very mild and soft. Not much different in quality or odor than the other pressed fish oils that are available. Nothing matches sun rendered fish oils or other such rendered fats in odor strength or quality.

Had a supplier 2 years ago when I bought a 5 gallon bucket and last year i wanted to get a 50 gallon drum and its out of stock and they dont know if they will ever get any again.

The joys of lure making..... find a great ingredient and in a year or 2 u can't get it anymore. Spoonbill oil, pre tsunami white musk, pork brains aret a few I've come across as a hobby maker. Then throw in the price of some of the glands and its definitely an up hill battle.

I got some from otter04 about fifteen years ago, or there abouts. He was from NY. I never did anything with it, and it must still be out in my shed. I'd forgotten all about it. He has since passed away.

I hope it last and ages well as I too purchased in past and never put it to intended use.
