Bar Harbor Wild Herring Fillets Seasoned with Cracked Pepper, 6.7 oz – Naturally Wood Smoked [Pack of 12]

First of all- although I like a bit of fresh cracked pepper on some of my foods, I have never ordered or purchased something before listed as "with cracked pepper". I ordered these (and also their sardines and also their kippers), from this company because I was so pleased with their canned clams. I am a vegetarian, and get a lot of my protein from canned fish, so I wanted to try the rest of the lineup from this company. I tried the Kippers and was pleasantly surprised (having never had kippers at all before) that they were quite good. Then I tried these herring with the pepper.... I ate the whole can in one sitting. Adding the pepper was genius! And for me- surprising! Next I will try their sardines. I know these are not the cheapest around- but the quality and taste is fantastic.

The best cracked pepper herring I've had in some time. Will definitely re-order this again!

These are great if you are doing keto or dieting, you don’t have to eat multiple tins of them, some of the best and most affordable

These are the best smoked herring fillets I’ve ever had. Cracked black pepper and water (who needs all the oil) I’ve been eating at least 2 cans per day.

12 pack comes boxed in great condition (2 slightly dented this shipment). Fabulous flavor, excellent, consistent quality great source of protein and less fishy than other fishies.

The product I purchased is the herring in cracked pepper. The fish is very good and excellent source of omega 3s. I eat these all the time for dinner. The portion is large and very mild in taste. I recommend these for lunch or dinner.

They overdid the pepper corns. Other wise good taste, texture and presentation. But only 2 rather large sardines in that can, but they didn't fill the can. I expected the can to be full of fish, considering the size of the an and the price. If I eat the other one in that can, I will wash off the the hundreds of pieces of cracked peppercorns, and then I might enjoy it. But will not be reordering.

These Bar Harbor Wild Herring Fillets are uniquely differentiated among canned fish products, as they meld the deep flavor of natural wood smoking with clean, delicious, wild-caught herring -- a cold water fish firm in texture, high in protein, and absent of carbohydrates. Observations: (1) These are wholly intact fillets: no cannery flakes or scraps. (2) The smoke quality is natural and bold. (3) The cracked black pepper brings an austere spice counterpointing the deep smoke flavors. (4) Bar Harbor could skirt reviewer criticism by swapping out their outmoded photo of the can's front stating, "Product of Canada." Current packaging now notes, "Sustainably harvested from the clear, cold waters of the North Sea," and the back affirms, "Product of Latvia." Product page verbiage stating, "Fresh off the docks of Maine" is also outdated. Keto-friendly and intensely flavorful, this will dazzle many while it may also overwhelm fans of subtlety. Either way, it's an enticing low-risk, high-reward food exploration at this low price. - (Was this "Helpful"? Cheers!)
