OC pickled herring?

[Allmodcons]

Looking for traditional pickled herring, with few or no preservatives and/or additives, in Orange County. Trader Joe's used to have one in a jar that was very good, but it was discontinued.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

JohnG., I have been disappointed by SM Seafood's in the past, but will keep them in mind.

EclecticE., I have seen those jars at Ikea. Will take another look.

Thank you both.

IKEA has some made by, of all groups, ABBA, I believe. It's Scandinavian style with mustard and with vinegar and cream sauce, in small jars. Their quality was always consistent. This might be what you're looking for, worth a look, anyhow. They sell it at their "bistro" as you're exiting along with lingonberry and those delectable cookies.

this thread just answered my question.
Yeah I know for a fact IKEA carries ABBA, the herring, and salmon paste, et al.

Last time I was at Santa Monica Seafood in Newport Beach they had both sour cream and white wine varieties, made fresh. Good stuff.

Joani M., thank you -- I have tried the Russian deli on Harbor. (Moscow Deli?) Might try again.

Russkar, thanks, I will take a look at Bristol Farms.

Bristol Farms in NB makes it Fresh semi weekly. Sour Creamed style

Try the Russian Deli or Old World Deli, both on Harbor west of the 405. The Russian Deli has a lot of unusual things, so I would try there first.
