Herring peaks from May to September.
This oily fish is at its finest during the summer months when its oil content is at its highest, resulting in a rich flavor and succulent texture. From a conservation perspective, herring is an excellent choice; it is a fast-growing species with healthy stock levels in the North Sea and Atlantic. Choosing herring is a great way to enjoy a sustainable, nutrient-dense fish that supports the health of our oceans.
