smoked herring
Brined, dried seafood
Smoked herring is herring preserved by smoking, a traditional method of curing fish.
The process produces various products depending on preparation: cold-smoked herring becomes kippers, while heavily smoked whole herring becomes red herring—so called for its color, and the origin of the figurative sense meaning a misleading clue or distraction.
