Smoked kippers! - what other kind is there?

[Lonnie]

Just grill them, then melt some butter on them.

Nice observation HammerHead.

slices of brown bread and melty butter with kippers

Mmmmm! yummy!

i dont think they are a "meal" fish, just eat them for breakfast or as a starter to a meal

My favourite is a really lazy way, place the kippers in a dish about 2 inches deep and cover with boling water, put a tea towel over the dish and leave to stand for about 5 minutes.
Remove from dish allow to drain and serve with lots of pepper and butter.
Works with Arbroath Smokies too in fact with any hot smoked fish, by the way don't chuck away the water I freeze and use it as a base for fish soup later

It may sound strange to some but a great condiment to have with Kippers is horseradish sauce

Best to cook them in someone else's kitchen as that way there'll be no smell for the next 6 months in yours!! Eat them with the finest brown bread you can find.

I always buy Fortunes kippers when I visit Whitby and I love to make pate with them.I plunge them into a jug of boiling water for 5 minutes, then take them out and let them cool.Strip all of the flesh off and put in a bowl,removing as many bones as possible !!.Flake the flesh lightly with a fork , season well with a little salt and coarse black pepper and bind with single cream,until you reach the required consistency.I always put mine into little ramekins and chill for a few hours,not that they stay in the fridge for long as my hubby and son can't resist !.We have ours on hot buttered toast---absolutely gorgeous.
