Lijster Zure Haring

Lijster Zure Haring is a traditional Dutch seafood product consisting of pickled herring. The brand 'Lijster' is historically associated with artisanal fish processing in the Netherlands. The product is manufactured and distributed by Haringinleggerij Koelewijn's based in Hoogeveen.

The history of the brand is rooted in the Dutch tradition of fish preservation, specifically 'zure haring' (sour herring), which is cured in a vinegar-based brine with onions and spices. The manufacturing remains localized in the Drenthe province of the Netherlands, maintaining a regional presence in Dutch supermarkets and specialty fish shops.

The brand is currently owned by Koelewijn's Haringinleggerij B.V., a family-origin company that specializes in pickling and processing various types of herring and seafood products for the European market.
