MW Polar Peppered Smoked Herring 7.05 oz Tin — 12-Pack, Naturally Hardwood-Smoked, No MSG

MW Polar Peppered Smoked Herring are naturally smoked Norwegian herring fillets, seasoned with black pepper and packed in convenient 7.05-ounce tins — sold here as a 12-pack.

These herring fillets come from cold North Sea waters off Norway, where higher fat content creates a richer taste and moist texture. Each fish is hand-processed using modern facilities and laboratory checks to maintain consistent quality. The smoking uses local hardwoods without artificial smoke flavorings, and the product is free of glucose, MSG and added nitrates.

What makes MW Polar’s smoked herring different from other canned fish?

MW Polar emphasizes sourcing and traditional smoking combined with controlled processing. The herrings are taken from cold northern seas for a fuller flavor profile, then smoked over select hardwoods to create a natural smoky aroma without chemical additives.

• Northern Norway catch for higher fat and flavor
• Hand-processed fillets with modern quality monitoring
• Natural hardwood smoking — no artificial smoke or chemicals
• Declared free of glucose, MSG and nitrates

How does the pepper seasoning affect taste and serving options?

The pepper adds a warm, savory note that complements the smoky fish without overpowering it. It pairs well with simple sides or can be used as a flavorful ingredient in salads, open-faced sandwiches, or tapas-style plates.

• Balanced black-pepper seasoning for savory depth
• Great on rye bread, crackers, or mixed into grain salads
• Works cold from the tin or gently warmed in recipes

How large are the fillets and what should I expect in each tin?

Each herring originally averages about 13.7 inches before head and tail are removed, so the fillets are substantial and meaty. The 7.05-ounce tins provide ready-to-eat portions ideal for single meals or shared appetizers.

• Average pre-clean length ~13.7 inches for robust fillets
• 7.05-ounce tin offers a convenient single-serve or small-share portion
