Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'smoked' describes the method of preparing and 'herring' names the fish, so the meaning 'a herring that has been smoked/dried' follows straightforwardly. This adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Smoked herring is the name for a herring that people dry and smoke over a fire so it keeps longer and gets a strong, reddish flavor. So the phrase simply means 'a herring prepared by smoking' and is used for that preserved, tasty fish.
