- Donald Mallard: The only practical way to cure a herring is by smoking and salting. It turns the fish a crimson red and gives it a very distinctive smell. In the early 15th century they used to train their hounds to hunt foxes by dragging a red herring along the ground on a piece of string to leave a trail of scent for the dogs to follow. Then, later on, they would drag a red herring across the scent trail of a real fox to test the dog's ability to ignore a false scent or false clue. Hence, the term "red herring" became to mean a false clue designed to fool one's opponent.
