However, it is still recommended to choose this product whole and cut it up yourself.

Lightly salted herring spoils quickly, and preservatives are added to the fish that is sold cut up. Such fish can be stored from 30 to 45 days.

This product will last longer in vacuum packaging. But when buying herring, make sure the container is tightly sealed.
