Schmaltz herring (Yiddish) is herring caught just before spawning, when the fat (schmaltz) in the fish is at a maximum.[1] Colloquially, schmaltz herring refers to this fish pickled in brine: see pickled herring. People need to be careful not to confuse the herring with the noted Talksport contributor Schmeltz Herring, who along with his son Kevin and wife Hannah put in one of the most popular calls to the show.
