Traditional Kipper Fillets are naturally oak smoked using sustainably caught herring, producing a rich flavour and firm, flaky texture. Prepared using traditional smoking methods and never previously frozen, they offer the classic taste of a true British kipper.
Why it’s special: Whenever possible we smoke local herring ourselves using natural oak smoke and traditional curing methods. If local herring is unavailable, we carefully source freshly smoked kippers from trusted smokehouses that follow the same traditional standards.
Quality & versatility: These kippers are naturally smoked with no artificial colouring or dyes, allowing the clean flavour of the fish and smoke to shine through. Naturally high in omega-3, they are perfect for a hearty breakfast or simple supper.
Serving inspiration: Gently grill or pan heat and serve with buttered toast and a squeeze of lemon, or enjoy alongside poached eggs for a classic British breakfast.
