In Australia, herrings have a bit of a bad reputation. That's because they're usually pickled in vinegar to survive the long voyage.
In the Baltic countries, there's many ways they're preserved. But they tend to have a very mild, non-fishy flavour.

People think I'm joking when I say Lithuanian supermarkets have a herrings section. Well, there's literally a full shelf of different herring varieties in this small inner city Iki convenience store.
