The Silver Darlings
Traditionally known as the ‘silver darlings’, North Sea herring is the only herring fishery in the north-east Atlantic that is independently certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for the sustainable manner it is harvested.
Herring is also an incredibly nutritious fish, packed full of minerals, vitamins A,D, and B12 as well as essential omega-3 fatty acids that are so important for the heart and overall general health.
Smoked herring is available as kippers, which is a great breakfast treat, and which can be used as an ingredient in kedgerees or pates.
UK health experts recommend that people should eat two portions of fish per week, one of which should be an oily fish such as herring. Oily fish contains long-chain omega-3 fatty acids which can help to prevent heart disease.
