Was at the Fancy Shop yesterday while waiting for traffic to die down and got these to try out thanks to @Force_majeure122's tinned seafood propaganda posts.
Anyone had these before? Recommendations on what to eat them with?
I'll try them out later this week and report back.

I had a tomato one flavoured herring from Aldi last week and I put it in a sandwich and ate it together that way.
It is propaganda for the benefit of y'all!! I'm glad it's paying off. It started with microwaved potatoes and now we're onto tinned fish. What's next?
I haven't tried the cod liver so I'll defer to Thornburywitch. For the herring, however you want, also as per Thornburywitch! I normally just eat them out of the can, but yeh with crackers, over rice, in a pasta. Whatever you want. I just insist you give them a taste by themselves first thoughI await further instructions from our DT's very own trendsetter as to what the next culinary direction should be...
The smoked cod liver will have a very strong taste - recommend stirring a little of it through pasta or spread thinly on a nice thick slice of bread. Cod liver oil is an acquired taste, but very very good for you being rrrrrich in vitamin d and all sorts of goodies. The herrings will be delicious whatever you do with them. I like them on hot rice, with a salad alongside. Or on toast. Or stirred through chopped greens for a salad, but you do you.
I've heard so much about cod liver oil growing up (mum used to have to have a spoonful daily and hated the stuff) so I was rather surprised to see actual cod liver in a tin. I'll try it in pasta, I think. And maybe herrings with rice! Thank you kindly for the tips.
You might cod liver a good sub for 100 yr old eggs - similarly rich in umami.
Now that I have tried before. I think I get what you're saying now about intensity of flavour. Very good...
