Are herrings that bad?

To change bad perceptions...
Here herrinsg are part of everyday life, you can buy all kinds, prepared with differents sauces in all kinds of colors and every packaging possible (even in a small snack format, just in case you get a craving for herring in the middle of the street or in the metro, it is better to plan ahead, you never know). But I can assure you, it doesn't really taste like anything you can imagine if you have only tried French style herring so far, the Danish one is quite sweet and mellow. With a nice black bread, you can even say it is delicious!
