Baltic herring belongs to the herring family. It can be found mostly in the eastern parts of the Baltic Sea where the seawater is mildly salty. The Baltic herring is the main fish caught commercially providing a half of the entire fishing catch. The fish is usually caught near the shore with pound nets and during the autumn and spring season by fishing trawlers. Compared to the Atlantic herring the Baltic herring is less fatty, but is suitable for marinating, spicing, smoking etc.
