The Lübeck Herring Market

The presence of large schools of herring fish around the Falsterbo peninsula is legendary. For ages our people spoke of tales about the overabundance of them, as our fishermen provided our folk with valuable and fresh merchandise. Such abundance of easily obtainable fish has been providing the markets in and around Skane, being the source of great wealth for all merchants involved in the herring trade.\n\nEmbarking on the market as a competitor to Skane would probably prove to be very profitable. However, despite the abundance of marine life in the pass, many advisors in our court suggest we best stay loyal to our main export, Lubeckian naval supplies.
