TIL that #Matjes is not a name for a specific way to prepare pickled herring, or a blend of spices used for it, but the name for herring caught at a young age, during late spring and early summer, having had time to fatten up after winter but before having produced any milt or roe. Related to the words maiden and Mädchen.
