Questions about herring pickled

Four questions chosen by the facts above, so every food answers differently.

How many calories are in a portion of herring pickled?
A typical portion (140 g, one fillet) gives 293 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 209 kcal.
Is herring pickled high in vitamin D?
Yes. Herring, pickled has 0.016 mg vitamin D per 100 g, 320 % of the NRV, above the 30 % threshold for a “high in” claim.
Does cooking change the sodium in herring pickled?
Yes. Per 100 g, sodium goes from 120 mg raw to 830 mg pickled. Part of that is the vitamin or mineral itself changing, part is the change in water content.
Which vitamins and minerals does herring pickled have most of?
By share of the daily reference intake: vitamin D (0.016 mg, 320 %), chloride (1660 mg, 208 %) and niacin (3.9 mg, 24 %) per 100 g.
How these numbers were made
Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 16-183, Herring, pickled, 6 analysed samples, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: LGC, Analytical survey of fish and fish products, 1991-1992. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a fillet is 140 g, one fillet, the usual UK portion for fish and seafood. Edible proportion: 57 % of the weight as bought is eaten. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 170 fish and seafood kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample, and where no illustration of the exact food exists the nearest one is shown (here: Atlantic Herring Fish). Checked 5 October 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
