Fresh (Unsalted) Herring Fillets

Fresh (Unsalted) Herring Fillet is a small oily fish common in Northern European and Nordic cuisines, often served fresh, pickled or smoked and valued for its strong flavor and versatility in traditional dishes. It is commonly used as a fillet or preserved product and features prominently in Baltic and Scandinavian recipes. Per 100 g, 18g of protein makes it a good animal-source protein; it is also notable for being rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12, while containing very little carbohydrate. The fat is mostly unsaturated, giving it a favorable fatty-acid profile compared with many land-based meats. Because of its nutrient mix — high-quality protein plus abundant omega-3s and B12 — it is considered a nutritious seafood choice that supports heart and brain health when eaten as part of a varied diet.
