Riga Gold: unsmoked, bristling “delicatesse”. Interesting packaging I’ve never seen.

These are either new or new to the stores I shop at.

I eat Riga Gold smoked sprats on the regular. I didn’t compare them side by side, but these didn’t seem considerably smaller than the regular Riga sprats (for being called bristling).

They were great tasting, very delicate and subtle tasting. I think overall, I prefer the OG smoked Rigas (just personally like smoked fish) but it was interesting how delicate the sprats are before smoking makes them a bit more attention grabbing
