Nos so easy to find here in Northern Louisiana. I can get the stuff in
jars... like Vita Roll-mops or their herring in cream... but the really
good kind that you can get in a deli or at a fish store doesn't seem to
be very popular in this area. Vita makes a pretty good product and I'm
happy with that.

No... that isn't a herring in my pocket. It is a Trouser Trout.
