A tiny marine fish found in vast schools.

Admired for its massive schools.

Herring are a type of vermin fish. They are found in arctic and temperate oceans, and are a ready source of food when cleaned at a fishery.

Herring are not a suitable replacement for a battle axe for performing the woodcutting labor. Despite what strange knights state, some shrubberies will suffice.
