My experience with pickled herring suggests yours was not fresh. Pickled fish does not improve with age. If the edges have turned what I think of as a brownish colour, it suggests to me that it has been sitting for a while. You want the cut side of the fish to be the same colour as the innards. Not fresh pickled herring = fishy taste.
