Acme Herring is a sustainably caught small fish that packs a big pickled herring punch! Not only is our Acme Herring in Wine Sauce great for you, but people have also enjoyed pickled herring for thousands of years. Our herring is simply brined and prepared with onions, and Acme Herring in Wine is the most traditional and simple of our herring varieties.

Among the world’s most widely consumed fish, and capable of adapting to the brackish waters of the Baltic Sea, herring became a primary food source of this coastal area. In these Baltic States, herring has been commonly eaten with brown bread and boiled potatoes for nearly as long as people have been pickling it in vinegar. Among the most popular ways to prepare pickled herring is a vinegar, sugar, and onion marinade, and after they are pickled for just long enough, they are preserved in a rich wine sauce.

With crackers, these herring tidbits in wine make excellent hors d’oeuvres. A classic preparation for this fish is chopped herring salad, frequently enjoyed as a spread or nosh. Many enjoy our pickled herring in wine on its own as a delightful preserve for snacking. Toothpicks sold separately!

Our Acme Smoked Fish Herring in Wine is alcohol free.
