* "Smells like rotten fish" This is a clue to the answer. We're looking for something that smells bad.
* "Herads" This is likely a misspelling of "heralds."
* "Mandarin sausage" This is a type of Chinese sausage.
Putting it together, the answer is likely:
A bad mandarin orange
Here's why:
* Rotten fish and bad mandarin oranges both have unpleasant smells.
* Heralds something, and a bad mandarin orange heralds (signals) that the rest of the oranges in the bag might also be bad.
