## Description

Polar’s Kipper and Herring are produced in a new state-of-the art cannery located in Germany. The Herring used in Polar products originate from the cold Northeast Atlantic Norwegian Sea region. The fish caught in these waters are known for high Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Polar’s Kipper Snack is naturally smoked using a variety of beach wood shavings and contains NO chemical dyes or imitation smoke flavor. It is also hand packed to ensure the delicate texture of the fillet. Polar's Kipper snack has a natural smoked taste you will love.

Review: Get These and be Happy! - These are my favorite kippers! They are very good quality with a lot of smoke flavoring and the texture is nice and firm with a filet appearance (not small pieces like tuna) and are packed in water, not oil. The taste is not overbearing with just enough saltiness to make them a perfect anytime snack. And the best part - they're overall very healthy. Of course, there is no such thing as a totally healthy snack because the nutrition commies don't want anyone to actually enjoy life - but these come pretty close! I will also add that these have replaced my beloved sardines because they are a bigger size, taste better, and are cheaper. What's not to love? I'm older now and paying more attention to eating good food that I actually like (in this case - love) so these are going to be on my shelf forever!
Review: Kipper German... - UPDATE: I bought these from desertcart for $24, not a bad price but at $40 not a good price since I consume lots of fish and price plays a big part. The fish is excellent, a full five star but the price makes it lower. I will buy again at $24 happily. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Polar is the distributor, the producer Rügen Fisch AG engages in processing, packaging, and supplying fish in Germany and internationally. The company offers canned fish including herring, mackerel, sardines, salmon, and many more. The company was founded in 1949 and is based in Sassnitz, Germany. Rugen is such a giant in herring business that they sell all their herrings through different wholesalers which all you need to do is look at the packaging with only different seller. Rügen Fisch deserves recognition for these cans since they are one of the only producers with MSC Certification, others are not so Rügen Fisch costs more than others. PRICE= 1.32, priced the lowest for all other kippers and it is the best tasting kipper, I always give away these cans as a gift SIZE= 3.530oz, majority of fish sold in cans vary in size between 3.5, 6.7, 7.2, 14, 17 ounce TASTE= Excellent smoke test, solid fish fillet not loose like fillet in tomato mix, the best tasting fish for the money only when sold at $1.32 a can MEAT= 92g MIX= Can separate fillets from the mix Fish is my main diet. I try and consume only small fish from reputable sources. No fish from China or Asia, only from Canada, US, Germany and cold Baltic Seas except sardines from Morocco. I am not worried about the added ingredients of tomato sauce, oil, water, etc. since I never consume that part of the can where sodium lingers around plus all additives, I only consume the fish and dump the rest of the mix. I always prefer smoked since the producer has to sell the fish in one piece instead of pieces of fish floating around in juice regardless of the juice type. Fillets are usually sold in some type of tomato juice, water, oil, etc. I never get the chance to taste the real fish which I am after so experience has proven to me to trust smoked more than filet. Filet is always soft and hardly tastes like fish and for that reason always sells less than smoked as well. My goal is to get the most PROTEIN, CALCIUM and VITAMIN D and B-12 without sacrificing TASTE. No farm raised fish for me, only wild fish. I do not trust what is printed on the Nutrition Facts of the labeling in majority of times since after consuming thousands cans from hundreds of different producers, I have noticed a considerable manipulation of numbers in the NUTRITION FACTS when comparing all those cans time after time. It is obvious to me that there is much misrepresentation especially when it comes to protein on these cans. Canned fish are sold everywhere so prices vary much and desertcart does not have the best prices at all on all since there are many great stores that offer canned fish for unbelievable prices so shoppers need to do their search accordingly. Majority of the canned fish in a flat form shipped by desertcart were shipped to me somehow damaged, bent, cracked open regardless since those cans were not protected properly during shipping due to its weight so remember to have your camera ready. Smoked sprats from Baltic Seas are the smallest of all only one inch long and I get some 18 sprats in a 4oz cans. Here is the scoop for salmon, herrings and sardines. Sardines, sprat and Alaska salmons offer more calcium since those are complete fish with bones and skin unlike herrings. Herring fillets in mix offer less taste and more additive unlike the smoked herrings which are whole fish with great taste so the extra charge is for the sauce not the fish where I dump anyway so fillets have never made any sense to me. Salmon and sardines offer more protein per calorie but sardines have the most saturated fat per calorie not per serving size. For higher Omega 3 to 6 ratio and vitamin B, I consume Herrings but for high vitamin D and calcium I consume sardines, sprats and Alaskan salmon with bones, skin and all. Check out the comment section of my review for links to other fish with great taste. It is so stupid to purchase farm raised fish which pollute the environment with added carpet dye for coloring before selling it to consumers without any knowledge about farm raised fish practices.
