Wood-Smoked Herring with Wild Garlic, FANGST
FANGST / Denmark / 100g
Why We Like It
FANGST is Scandinavian for ‘catch’. Making tasty meals and snacks from whatever they catch, harvest and hunt, in waters, fields and forests of the North, is the mission of this small Nordic company. Their mission also prioritises sustainability, so the focus is primarily on seafood and plants, rather than meat. The majority of their fish and shellfish is wild caught in Nordic oceans and fjords, before being preserved in cans, ready to be enjoyed as small tasty meals.
What To Expect
This is FANGST’s tribute to the mighty herring, a fish that has been fundamental to Nordic fishing, trade and food culture since the Middle Ages. The fish is gently smoked over beech wood and lightly spiced with white pepper and ramson (wild garlic). FANGST say they wanted a taste of the coast and a hint of the forest, and they have succeeded - the herring is smooth and subtle-tasting, and full of delicate flavours.
Serve with some good bread and maybe a lemon. It’s as simple as that.
Ingredients: smoked herring (Clupea harengus) (70%), organic cold pressed rapeseed oil (28.2%), herbal salt (1.8% Atlantic Sea salt, white pepper, ramson, celeriac, horseradish, onion, chives, rosemary).
