18. Q: What is a herring?A: The North Atlantic herring is a small saltwater fish that is also known by its scientific name Clupea harengus. These fish travel in huge schools and live in the cold waters of the open ocean ranging from Greenland to North Carolina. North Atlantic herring can reach a size of about 40 cm (17 inches) in length, weigh as much as 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs), and can live as long as 20 years. Herring feed principally on plankton and are found in shallow inshore waters to offshore waters as deep as 200 meters. Herring schools are always in motion and migrate between spawning grounds, feeding grounds, and deep-water wintering areas. Prior to the arrival of Europeans in North America, these delicious fish were an important food for coastal American natives. Herring have been fished commercially in North America for centuries and are sold in a variety of popular food formats including smoked, kippered (lightly smoked), pickled and canned. Herring roe (eggs) is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. Herring has been canned in North America since the late 1800’s. Small herring are canned by BRUNSWICK as sardines, while BRUNSWICK Seafood Snacks use choice boneless herring fillets to ensure a rewarding taste experience. The delicate texture and flavor of herring makes it the perfect partner to a number of great tasting sauces.Please click a question to receive the answer.1.
