Fangst Sild No. 1 Smoked Herring with Pepper & Ramson

Herring has been at the centre of Scandinavian food since the Middle Ages, so of course Fangst had to do one. This is Atlantic herring from the Norwegian Sea, lightly smoked over beech wood and seasoned with white pepper and ramson, which is wild garlic. The seasoning salt also has a little horseradish, celeriac and chives through it, and the whole thing is packed in cold-pressed rapeseed oil.

Think of it as a very good kipper. The smoke is soft and the spice is subtle, so the herring stays front and centre. Serve it on rye crispbread with sliced boiled egg and chives, or alongside warm new potatoes and a spoonful of sour cream.
