Orkney Herring prides itself on producing the very best quality Sweet Cured Herring with a deliciously unique texture and taste. This is due largely in part to the raw materials we use.

The herring is fished primarily in the North Sea basin by modern ships from Scotland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Faeroe Islands. It is then landed in Denmark in connection with our partner company, Unifisk who have a factory in Skagen. Click here to go to Unifisk!

Unifisk takes great pride in being especially skilled in assessing and selecting the raw materials as well as possessing good, solid know-how concerning the very best treatment of the herring before it reaches us in Orkney.

As soon as the herring arrives at our factory in Stromness, we set about the Sweet Curing process using the very best quality ingredients available to us.
