«Delicious Wild-Caught Kippered Herring with Very Little Salt»
It is wonderful that Amazon is making good low-sodium food products like this excellent Crown Prince Kipper Snacks available to those of us who are watching their sodium intake for general health reasons. It is a versatile food that can be eaten as a quick snack, a side dish, or a topping for a particular dish. This kippered herring is definitely much better than many other canned herring products that I have tried. The taste is delicate and satisfying, and the flavor of the herring is not overpowered by salt, sugar, or some type of sauce, such as tomato, paprika, or mustard sauce. There is a pleasant wood smoke aftertaste. The fish are not soaked in liquid, and they are neatly and appetizingly packed inside the can. In comparison, the canned herring under the Appel brand (a product of Germany), for example, contains many added ingredients, a long list that includes salt (400 mg of Sodium per 1/4 cup serving) and sugar. Also, in most European countries, all seafood is affected by the highly polluted waters there, so I am glad that this Crown Prince kippered herring is a product of Canada. I like it as much as I like, occasionally and for different reasons, another product from Canada, the Bar Harbor Wild Herring Fillets in mustard sauce, which has its own distinctive appeal to the palate, although it is not smoked and contains more salt (230 mg Sodium per serving). The price of this Crown Prince product on Amazon averages to about $1.62 (in U.S. dollars) per can when purchased as a case of 24 cans. It usually sells for more than that at retail stores.

«good, but not alot of smoke flavor»
Over all very tasty, just not as much smoke flavor as a German brand I have had, but the German brand fish are coming from pretty polluted waters and these are not.
