Down a narrow side street in Klawock, Alaska, Mathew Scaletta runs a small family-run fish cannery inherited from his grandmother. Wildfish Cannery has been Southeast Alaska’s premier community-focused seafood processor since 1987. Know your fisherfolk.
Wildfish's smoked herring delivers a robust, savory flavor with a rich dose of umami and smoke. While early American food culture once celebrated the herring, with dishes like the Skully Jo Fish Bake originating from seafood ports such as Gloucester, we recommend any throwback recipes drawing flavor inspiration from other herring-worshipping countries.
In the UK, smoked herring (or kippers) are often enjoyed for breakfast. As is the custom in northern Europe, smoked herring is delicious when paired with potatoes or with a nice lager or pale ale at the start of the day, à la Ernest Hemingway.
