THIS IS NOT “JUST SALTED FISH”
Forelka-style herring sits in a different category from classic heavily salted herring.
It is softer, lighter in salt, and closer to a Nordic everyday deli fish than a sharp cured product.
Think of it as something that belongs on a breakfast table rather than a strong zakuski plate.
WHAT MAKES THIS VERSION DIFFERENT
Kaija’s Forelka cut focuses on texture first:
- fillet is noticeably softer and less dense
- salt level is intentionally mild
- oil balance keeps it smooth, not heavy
- no sharp curing intensity
- designed for frequent everyday eating rather than occasional use
This is the kind of herring that works both as a snack and as part of a full meal.
HOW IT IS ACTUALLY EATEN
Instead of “recipes”, think usage moments:
Morning-style serving
– rye bread, butter, thin onion slices
Simple lunch plate
– boiled potatoes + dill + cold herring fillet
Quick protein snack
– straight from refrigeration, no preparation
Light salad addition
– chopped into beet or potato-based salads
WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO LIGHT-SALT HERRING
Traditional salted herring can feel intense for everyday use.
This version solves that problem:
- easier taste acceptance
- softer texture experience
- more “daily food” than “special occasion”
- still authentic Baltic-style fish profile
- works across multiple cuisines without adaptation

Reviews
Delicious, one thing, I am sorry that I ordered just one package.... I am waiting to get back in stock to get lots more. I recommend this product with all my heart. Great customer service, the package arrived on time in great condition. Thank you!
I order herrings mostly. Every package I received was very well packaged.
I like Ivaci Herrings and always order it when I am out of it.
Last time Ivaci was not available and I decided to try herrings "Forelka".
To be honest, I was not impressed with the taste because it did not taste like herrings, but taste is still good, maybe other people like it more than I do.
I will just stick with Ivaci.
Thank you!
I like your store, I have ordered products more than once and am always happy, everything comes in good condition, well packaged and the quality of the products is good. This time I really liked the red caviar and lightly salted trout, just delicious! Thank you, I am glad that you exist????
the best herring I have ever eaten !!!
Absolutely delicious. I am a herring addict and this just may be the best I've had yet. The filets are quite large and marinated wonderfully in a salty oil. They shipped to me well and arrived cold. My only suggestion for improvement is the packaging: when you open, oil oozes out everywhere. But, that aside, these are delicious and I will be a repeat customer.
