Herring belongs to the same family of fish (clupeids) as sprat and pilchard. It can grow to greater than 40cm, although size differs between ‘races’ (distinct breeding stocks). Most herring landed are around 25cm.
At least one population in UK waters spawns in any one month of the year. Herring have an important role in the marine ecosystem, as a transformer of plankton at the bottom of the food chain to higher trophic or feeding levels, e.g. for cod, seabirds and marine mammals.
The boats around the local area supply our Herring between October and December, while during the local off season we use responsibly sourced Herring from Norway
