Product Description
Kipper Snacks are a traditional European food dating back as far as the fourteenth century. The method of preparation demands that only the finest fillets of herring be smoked over natural hardwood chips. Delicate in flavor, these kippers are packed without any additional salt. Kipper Snacks are firm and flaky in texture and contain omega-3 fatty acids. Just one can provides over one-third of the recommended daily allowance of protein. Try them in salads, casseroles or sandwiches.

I have tried many types of canned herring but Crown Prince Natural Kipper snacks are the BEST.There is barely any liquid in the can,each can is packed full with delicious smoked herring. These kipper snacks are wild caught and low in sodium so they are a very healthy way to get your Omega 3's,high in protein too. If you are like me and don't always have to time to cook fish, this is a perfect way to enjoy the heart healthy benefits of fish.
Delicious Wild-Caught Kippered Herring with Very Little Salt November 1, 2008

It is wonderful that Amazon is making good low-sodium food products like this excellent Crown Prince Kipper Snacks available to those of us who are watching their sodium intake for general health reasons. It is a versatile food that can be eaten as a quick snack, a side dish, or a topping for a particular dish. This kippered herring is definitely much better than many other canned herring products that I have tried. The taste is delicate and satisfying, and the flavor of the herring is not overpowered by salt, sugar, or some type of sauce, such as tomato, paprika, or mustard sauce. There is a pleasant wood smoke aftertaste. The fish are not soaked in liquid, and they are neatly and appetizingly packed inside the can. In comparison, the canned herring under the Appel brand (a product of Germany), for example, contains many added ingredients, a long list that includes salt (400 mg of Sodium per 1/4 cup serving) and sugar. Also, in most European countries, all seafood is affected by the highly polluted waters there, so I am glad that this Crown Prince kippered herring is a product of Canada. I like it as much as I like, occasionally and for different reasons, another product from Canada, the Bar Harbor Wild Herring Fillets in mustard sauce, which has its own distinctive appeal to the palate, although it is not smoked and contains more salt (230 mg Sodium per serving). The price of this Crown Prince product on Amazon averages to about $1.62 (in U.S. dollars) per can when purchased as a case of 24 cans. It usually sells for more than that at retail stores.

Hard to believe, smoked kippers with very low salt in water!!!!! Add some lemon juice, salt to taste, I have them with eggs for breakfast, on crackers for a snack, with pasta, in olive oil, butter, or tomato. If you are used to salty forms of this product they might take a little getting used to. I wish more companys would let the consumer add salt or sugar after purchase....
These are the best October 31, 2007

I have always loved this brand, my one issue was always the added salt. This completes it, I add a little potassium salt and talk about heart healthy and good taste! Of couse I wish they cost less (sigh) but I say that about everything as living is expensive. I just scooped the last three cases, that should last me for awhile.
Wow! Excellent product, VERY tasty and fresher than others July 29, 2009

For the past 2 years I've been eating Season Brand kippers which I buy at the local supermarket. I've been doing this ever since I discovered the power of omega-3 back in 2005 after my mother died of a heart attack. I discovered that omega-3 lowered my blood pressure, reduced joint/muscle pain and stiffness(probably the result of improved circulation since omega-3 reduces coagulation), raised my HDL and lowered my LDL, and even affected my mental mood. I used to take omega-3 supplements prior to discovering kippers and salmon, but I found that it's better to get it naturally.
I decided to try Crown Prince to see if they were better than Season Brand. They just arrived today, and I opened one immediately and tried it, and I have to say FANTASTIC! I was worried that the low-sodium(70mg per can) would cause them to taste less appealing, specially since I'm not a big fan of the very strong fishy smell of herring. But to my shock, Crown Prince is far superior to Season Brand. Season Brand has 390 mg of sodium per can, AND the herring is tougher and taste much older. The smoke flavor is the same between the two, except that Season Brand burns my throat for some reason. I don't know why, it's probably a chemical in the brine, or a preservative. Crown Prince kippers are more delicate on my palate, didn't burn my throat, softer meat, fresher tasting, especially if you have a sensitive nose like I do.
I'm definitely switching. I'm very impressed with the taste and the fact that I didn't notice the low-sodium, in fact I can actually taste the kippers more cause it's not masked by the high sodium. Also, I noticed that the herring are packaged without the fins, something that I don't like about Season Brand, and my stomach doesn't like the fins in Season Brand either cause I have a sensitive stomach.
In conclusion, I will be a long-time customer of Crown-Prince Kipper Snacks from now on. I sure hope the company doesn't change anything or discontinue this product in the future. Every time I find something I really like, it gets discontinued! I decided to write this review to give back to those of you who have helped me find better and healthier products on amazon. Thanks!
