The soused herring (maatjesharing or just maatjes in Dutch, or Matjes/matjes in German and Swedish respectively) is an especially mild salt herring, which is made from young immature herrings. The herrings are ripened for a couple of days in oak barrels in a salty solution, or brine .
The preservation takes place by the salt extracting water from the herring, and thus poorer growth conditions are created for microbes. [1] Until the 1960s, herring was an important export item for Norway, but the decline in the herring fisheries led to these exports stagnating sharply.

A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, [1] that has been split in a butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over smouldering wood chips (typically oak). In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some regions of North America, kippers are most commonly eaten for breakfast.
Herring has been a staple food source since at least 3000 BC. The fish is served numerous ways, and many regional recipes are used: eaten raw, fermented, pickled, or cured by other techniques, such as being smoked as kippers. Herring are very high in the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. [128] They are a source of vitamin D. [129]
