This story wreaks (please pardon the pun) of loneliness! Seems to me that anyone who eats herring everyday of their life...wouldn't have very many friends or lovers!

P.S. Was the herring pickled?

P.P.S. I'm thinking that herring...or fish of any kind...with Omega 3 fatty oils (it's a good thing) and all that good stuff, must be good stuff. Can't hurt to add a bit of the Omega 3 I guess!

R.I.P. Hendrikje Van Andel-Schipper
