Egypt and Poland and Lithuania were the largest markets for Norwegian herring in May.

However, it is not the North Sea herring that dominates exports in May. The NVG herring takes the prize here.

At the same time, the increased North Sea herring catches affect exports. An important product of North Sea herring is soused herring. Here, the Netherlands is the most important export market.
