The price of black herring follows the market, but it generally hovers around 12 yuan.

When there is more supply, the price will drop a lot, around 7 yuan, while when there is less supply, the price will rise, reaching about a catty in 20 yuan. The price is high, which usually appears on holidays, especially about one month before the Chinese New Year. Because of the custom of pickled herring, the price will remain high.

Son, in spring and summer, the price will fluctuate greatly, because herring is easier to die.
