About Fish, herring eggs, Pacific, plain (Alaska Native)

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) is a small, silvery, oily fish that swims in enormous schools in the cold North Pacific and is one of the most abundant and important food fish of the region, supporting major fisheries from Japan to Alaska and British Columbia. A vital forage fish, it has also long been central to the food traditions of Pacific Northwest Indigenous and First Nations peoples. Its soft, rich, savory flesh is full-flavored, and as an oily fish it is especially high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with quality protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium.

Herring is enjoyed fresh and simply grilled or fried, but it is best known preserved by smoking, pickling, and curing, turning up as kippers and pickled herring across many cuisines. Its prized roe, known as kazunoko, is a delicacy in Japanese cooking, and herring roe on kelp is a traditional treat as well. Young herring are also canned in the sardine style. Choose fresh herring that smells clean and briny with bright eyes and firm flesh, and cook or chill it promptly, since oily fish is highly perishable.
