"Blind Robbins" Smoked Herring (3 Lb. Avg)

Having grown up in northern New England, Smoked Herring was something I always loved as a special treat. Each and every time I have ever seen it for sale I would get some. This is The Genuine Article, and if you really love this sort of thing, you will either absolutely love these products or hate them. I love them, and recommend them to the purist Smoked Herring lover, wherever you are. Excellent!

Very Very Very Salty. So be warned! I grew up in Maine where we would buy these at the local market which were smoked and salted and did not need refrigeration. These are too salty and wet, need refrigeration. Not what I was expecting. Would not order again.

These are exactly what I was looking for. Shipped quickly and arrived frozen. If you've never had salted smoked herring before, be forewarned- the smell is all-pervasive and if you handle them with bare skin, your hands will smell like smoked herring for days, no matter how much you wash them. But the flavor is just as I remember..salty, smoky, not too fishy. Delish.

Like I remembered BUT the fillets were a little big which had lots of bones in the belly part. I will order again if the fillets were a bit smaller. But over all they are tasty.( and goes great with beer ).

A little bit too salty, a little bit too skim... but if you love smoked herring and know what to do with it - not bad at all. I am from Russia and miss smoked herring in my menu here...so I ordered this product and found it not bad. It's too salty to eat it like we used to eat in my childhood, but you can add it to some dishes. I keep it in my freezer in triple plastic bags to prevent the smell in the freezer. Just cook unpeeled beets (or use canned beets), cook unpeeled potato and carrots, cool down the vegetables, chop finely, add chopped herring (I use scissors and gloves while working with it ). Combine about one piece of herring, chopped with scissors by small pieces, 3-4 medium cooked cooled beets, 1 large cooked cold potato, 2 medium cooked carrots , 1 small chopped raw onions , 3-4 tbsp original Kraft Mayo. No salt please! mix all this together like you make potato salad. Tastes good, just a hint of herrings in the vegetable salad.

Well packed fast shipping! These are just like I remembered them when I was a kid. Put them on pizza instead of anchovies they are great!

This Smoked Herring has a grate taste.I like Herring a lot and this one I would eat any time.The only thing that I did not like was the shipping price for me it is to high.That is the only thing that keeps me from ordering a lot more of it.

The herring was partially thawed when received so I discarded it for fear of possible (even if mild) stomach upset.
