epa03251278 An expert checks the quality of a herring, a so called Hollandse Nieuwe in Scheveningen, The Netherlands, 06 June 2012, before the auction of the first barrel. This auction is the official start of the herring season. Herrings are caught between the end of May and the beginning of July in the North Sea near Denmark or Norway, before the breeding season starts. This is because herrings at this time are unusually rich in oils (over 15 per cent) and their roe and milt have not started to develop. EPA/LEX VAN LIESHOUT
