Call me crazy, but I love pickled herring.  Can eat it by the lbs.

Herring is also one fish that aficionados can catch themselves. One way to learn how to do this is by taking a Sea Forager tour with Kirk Lombard ( www.seaforager.com).
During herring season, he has an e-mail system set up to tell groups where to meet him to see schools of herring.

"The herring are abundant and easy to catch," he says. "It's so life-affirming to be out there among the animals. And if you catch a fish yourself, it always tastes better."
