Redditors Are Apprehensive About Aldi’s Wild Herring In Wine Sauce Leave a comment

On the subreddit r/Aldi, an Aldi shopper posted an image consisting of several jars of wild herring in wine sauce, proclaiming in almost joyous manner, “Wild herring in wine sauce is back!” Many commenters, however, were far more apprehensive, with one person saying, “I’m always seeing this but I’m not brave enough to buy and try it lol.”

“I like trying new things and I love fish, but I haven’t brought myself to buy this yet. The jar is SO BIG. Should I try them?” another asked, while someone else said, “[Thirty-two] ounces is too much of a commitment for me, even though I am curious.” Another Reddit user admitted they were taken aback by the sight of them. “I saw this at my store yesterday [and] thought ‘wtf is that,'” they wrote.

Other users had fond memories of enjoying the wild herring, recalling enjoying them on rye with cream cheese or prepared with sugar and vinegar on pumpernickel bread. Pickled herring in wine sauce is said to have a sweet, somewhat oniony taste to it if pickled in wine sauce. It’s also said to be very healthy in omega-3 acids so, even if you aren’t a fan of the taste, it’s actually a pretty nutritious choice.
