Retail packages must comply with FDA seafood labeling rules, including the accepted market name (e.g., 'Atlantic herring' or 'Pacific herring'), net weight, country of origin under COOL, and whether wild-caught or farm-raised. Herring is almost exclusively wild-caught, but the COOL designation must still appear.
Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) from Norway and Iceland tends to have higher fat content, which is preferred for marinated and pickled herring products. Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) from Canada is often leaner and may be preferred for certain processing applications. Buyers should specify species on purchase orders, as both are classified under the same HTS line.
