    The smoked cod liver will have a very strong taste - recommend stirring a little of it through pasta or spread thinly on a nice thick slice of bread. Cod liver oil is an acquired taste, but very very good for you being rrrrrich in vitamin d and all sorts of goodies. The herrings will be delicious whatever you do with them. I like them on hot rice, with a salad alongside. Or on toast. Or stirred through chopped greens for a salad, but you do you.

      I’ve heard so much about cod liver oil growing up (mum used to have to have a spoonful daily and hated the stuff) so I was rather surprised to see actual cod liver in a tin. I’ll try it in pasta, I think. And maybe herrings with rice! Thank you kindly for the tips.

        You might cod liver a good sub for 100 yr old eggs - similarly rich in umami.

          Now that I have tried before. I think I get what you’re saying now about intensity of flavour. Very good…
