MW Polar Peppered Smoked Herring, 7.05 Ounce (Pack of 12)

What can I say? I've tried every Kipper out there on the market and hands down these are the best by a good amount! I was worried a little bit when I first cracked the tin and the very Briny ocean smell hit my nose, but as soon as I took the first bite,that was in the past. It was smokey, it was peppery it was rich and savory. It was unbelievable! These are a little bit more on the spendy side for kippers but I will spend the money to buy a case of these at a time. They're that good!

Excellent!! I was really nervous about ordering this as my guy loves smoked oysters and mussles. I wanted to try something new for him and I as the benifts are huge from fish. You recieve a generous amount of fish and it looks just like the picture! I think even better. All the spices are there but not over berring. It has a tiny bit of heat for just a second ( We dont do hot spicey), but this tiny heat was perfect! The fish has skin but no bones. It is packed in water but there is a slick of oil too. Perfect. The smoke is subtle enough on the fish as not to drown the delicate flavor. I'm a tad squeemish when it comes to skin and "fishy" tastes and this recipe rocks! You dont need to pair it with anything, but we had an assortment of crackers, fruit, white wine, cheese's, and antiposto. YUMMY! The only difference I personaly would have liked is that the fish be packed in more healthy oils. Just my taste. It dosent need it tho. The can was easy to open with the pull back tab. I am a penny pincher, but the few cents extra on this brand is worth it. I will buy again. Grab yourself some! AWESOME fish for 2 or 4.

Good flavor, good texture. Smoke isn't too strong. Once later in day I had a "smoky burp". But not a fishy one. I like this direct from can, or scooped out onto crackers and cheese. I keep it simple. The cans aren't really all that great. They have a soft-ish top, and the tin is on the soft side. Mine were all dented but that is because they tossed my cans in with super heavy items (a gallon of molasses, a box of shelf stable almond milk, and huge laundry soap--so ridiculous). At least they didnt pop open. I wouldn't bank on this for extended storage (ie, prepping), but I would put it into rotation just for variety. Money saving tip (if you can do it): Currently $2.24 on Subscribe & Save (at max 15% discount). If you order 12 of them single (well 10 at time is max, I think), it is cheaper than the 12 count Subscribe & Save option (at max 15% discount). If you can, order with lightweight items so they aren't smashed.

Taste great

what comes inside the tin tastes good, it's a good size serving with good flavor but the problem with my package was that some of the cans on one end of the box were crushed, either from mishandling in the wearhouses or careless shipping practice.

I was not familiar with any canned fish items except tuna and sardines. I recently visited a tapas restaurant that served a conservas platter. It had canned mussels,cockles, tuna, and herring along with other items. I really enjoyed the herring and wanted to have some on hand at home. I researched different brands and I wanted to try a reasonably priced smoked herring as my entry point. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the Polar Peppered Smoked Herring but I have been pleasantly surprised! I've made herring toast and made a smoked fish dip using these cans. I did not get a strong smoky flavor that I was expecting or a super fishy taste. To my taste buds, it was slightly peppery and mild. The smell of the sauce is VERY fishy and I have to wash my hands a couple of times if any of the sauce gets on my hands. My cans have been full with at least 3 or 4 fillets. I would absolutely order again.

Very good value. Keep it in mind, it's not pretty and lacks a bit of flavor. But, I just add some lemon juice and it's much better. You can also add other flavors. It doesn't have alot of oil either (that it's cooked in) so that's good as well!

I really got myself hosed on this , i paid $33 FOR ONE yes ONE can of these Herring Fillets. They could be the best tasting ones on earth but $65 per pound still aint worth it . I honestly thought i was getting 18 cans , shame on me . Sure as hell won't happen again , buyer be ware
