Herring – both good and healthy
Herring is the most common fish species on earth. It occurs in large shoals on both sides of the Atlantic, and for example, in the North Sea and in the Baltic Sea. The herring can be over 40 cm long and weigh close to a kilo.
Since the herring is so prevalent, the herring fishery has long been important for the economy in many countries. Especially when it was gathered in large shoals near the coast, making it easy to catch large amounts. This is part of the background for Klädesholmens development for half a millennium. Today, the herring is also becoming increasingly important as a healthy food, because it is so rich in nutrient fat and Omega 3.

How we prepare at Klädesholmen
Local anchorage is of great importance to us. Therefore, we like to buy the raw material from the western Swedish trawlers. Most of the larger herring is fished from the rich stocks of the Norwegian Sea. In the fall, when the herring is at its best, it is seasoned or marinated and stored in barrels.
After many months, the herring is mature and ready to be prepared according to our own family recipe. The herring is weighed and flavored with selected spices, onion and other vegetables.
Then the herring is put in a glass jar together with a sauce, which is spiced according to the specific product. The filled jar is then sealed with a lid and labeled. Then the jars are packaged and transported to the different stores and to the restaurants who like to serve our herring.
