Dried, salted herring is fish preserved by drying and salting. The values here describe the flesh only, from samples purchased whole. Per 100g, it provides 25g of protein, 7.4g of fat, 13g of salt and 200mg of calcium.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The salt content is high, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. These figures describe the dried, salted flesh rather than fresh herring. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Samples purchased whole from West Indian outlets, flesh only). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Fish and Fish Products Supplement, 1993.
