Hey Eben -

Vas is das gerring?

My Swedish uncle Gus that taught me to fish used to call them 'herrink'

Of course, they usually appeared creamed....or pickled...or in Janssen's Potatoes...or in one of about 100 family herrink recipes...

Personally, I think it's an acquired taste that I somehow never acquired.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
