Herring Runs Out

Once the waters off Skanör-Falsterbo in Skåne were so full of herring that you 'could cut them with a dagger'. Ever since the market of Skåne has been the major entrepôt for Fish export in the Baltic as well as the main entrepôt for any goods coming from Western Europe to the eastern ports.\nLately, however, the herring has been less bountiful and this year the catch has been so poor that it is impossible to support the market itself. As the Skåne Market dies so does one of the major sources of income for the crown.
