Meaning
Schmaltz herring is pickled herring nothing more, nothing less. It is fatty herring preserved in brine. It is a common food preparation all around the Baltic. RPSM (talk) 11:13, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Schmaltz Herring is salt-cured (not steeped in brine) and the name refers to the fact it is 'sweet' (the literal translation of Schmaltz in yiddish) as opposed to tasting sour like herring pickled in an acid such as vinegar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.209.69 (talk) 20 February 2015
 * "Schmaltz" actually means some kind of fat, lard or grease (schmaltz, Schmaltz, Schmalz, שמאַלץ), nothing "sweet" in that. --Djadjko (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

However, in NYC at least, many stores offer Schmaltz Herring with the herring literally sitting in schmaltz or oil, rather than brine, wine sauce, etc. There are many variations. Salted herring packed in oil will also, obviously, be called *Schmaltz Herring*. Drsruli (talk) 09:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
