The moon shone like herrings in the water.

I trained karate in 2001 to fight Heath Herring.

Heath Herring is tough as nails, and he fights hard.

A wise word is not a substitute for a piece of herring.

Surprises are like misfortunes or herrings - they rarely come single.

Robert Herring had enough trust in me to think I could carry my own show.

One of my favorite guitar players and musicians is a guy named Jimmy Herring.

Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl.

I knew with The West Wing that that wasn't going to be for very long, that I was just the red herring.

At our production company, the trademark dish - and this sounds particularly revolting - is curried pickled herring.

Writing and directing might be a red herring, and really I'm just re-examining what it is to act, to do it well and do it properly.

Heaven is a bowl of creamed herring and onions. Ditto whitefish salad. But the real object of my desire for all things gilled is gefilte fish.

Try to eat more fat but choose polyunsaturated fatty acids as they help the body to burn fat so that's salmon, halibut, sardines, albacore, trout, herring, walnut and flaxseed oil.

I'm kind of ashamed to be a celebrity. I don't understand wanting to read about other people's dirty laundry. I think celebrity is the biggest red herring society has ever pulled on itself.

When you think of a great twist or a red herring or a way of misdirecting the reader, it is good, but you know that they are just tricks at the end of the day, and the way to keep interest is to write characters that people care about.

How curious that such an outsize man, in physique as well as personality, should be remembered today mainly for giving his name to a small fish.

The Arabs could have peace tomorrow if sufficient numbers of Palestinians were not content to be used as cannon fodder in fruitless assaults on Israel, even as the surrounding Arab powers distract the Arab masses with the red herring of Israel while retarding their countries with their repression and corruption.

When I was nine years old, I wrote a short story called 'How to Build a Snowman,' from which no practical snowperson-crafting techniques could be gleaned. The story was an assignment for class and it featured a series of careful but meaningless instructions. Of course, the building of the snowman was a red herring.

The argument that gay marriage doesn't affect straight marriages is a ridiculous red herring: Gay marriage affects society and law in dramatic ways. Religious groups will come under direct assault as federal and state governments move to strip them of their non-profit statuses if they refuse to perform gay marriages.

When you see Robert Englund in a movie, you think he is the bad guy, but if I'm not the bad guy, and I'm supposed to just kind of fool the audience, it makes it a lot easier for whichever actor is the bad guy. So I find myself doing a lot of those, I think they're called red herring characters, faking out the audience.
