Yes, I have had pickled herring, at least if we are talking about the same thing. In that slimy white sauce? I had a girlfriend whose father was an ex-Marine who loved pickled herring and would try to force it on you at every opportunity. Maybe that's why we broke up ;-)

I like sashimi, can take sushi or leave it.
