Interesting history. I am not a fish fan unless it comes in a shell, but are herring larger varieties of what we call a sardine?

When I was a child, many of the elderly black men of the area would gather around the pot-belly stove at my uncle's store and tell stories, catch up on gossip, and especially talk baseball. They would be chewing tobacco; spitting against the hot stove (I can hear the sizzle now); and, when they got hungry, they would buy cans of sardines and sit around eating. The smell of those sardines mixed with the spittle sizzle did me in!
