We do not bother to identify what herring we use....every 3 -4 days over a million lbs. R brought in used for lobster bait or striped bass fishing and foodsuch as pickled herring... in some cases depending if their bellies R blown out.....U trying to get me in a catch 22 with river herring?.......U do not get up early enough...LOL

A few years back a fish plant had a trash dumpster with 2 sliding doors... as a joke on one side he put a sign said,.."Striper Bait 20 bucks." on the other side the sign said, Lobster Bait, 15 bucks." striper people that did not know any better would ask for striper bait...it all came out of the same dumpster......
