This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I'll stick to grilled herring in the future.

This dish was okay. The smoked herring was a bit too salty for my taste and the tomato and greens didn't do much to balance it out. I probably won't be making this again.

I was a bit skeptical about trying smoked herring, but I'm so glad I did! This dish was incredible. The herring was perfectly smoked and the tomato and greens added a wonderful freshness. I will definitely be making this again.

This smoked herring dish was simply divine! The flavors of the smoked herring, tomatoes, and greens melded together perfectly. I especially loved the smokiness of the herring, which gave the dish a unique and delicious flavor.
