Where can I get this sour herring? It sounds like something I might like... or not...
Just something else to add to my collection of foods that I tried and didn't like...
GOAT • MUTTON • HAGGIS • YAMS • PIG BRAINS • SWEETBREADS • PERSIMMONS • TURKEY GIBLETS
more to come...

They say they'll ship worldwide.
You might try it with a little durian on the side...
