In as far as omnivores can also be considered carnivores - yes.

As the name suggests they will eat fish (although they have no particular preference for any one type of fish - herring or otherwise).

It is more accurate to refer to the herring gull as an omnivore than to call it a carnivore because they will eat not only other animals but also will scavenge from garbage dumps, landfill sites, and sewage outflows as well as vegetable matter such as roots, tubers, seeds, grains, nuts and fruit.
