Product description

Traditional Whole Kippers are a true British classic, made from sustainably caught herring that is carefully split, cured, and naturally smoked. With their rich, distinctive flavour and firm texture, they are perfect for a hearty breakfast or light supper.

Why it’s special: Our kippers are prepared by our skilled smoker using traditional methods, ensuring an authentic taste and outstanding quality. Each fish is smoked whole to preserve its character and depth of flavour. If local herrings are unavailable for us to smoke, we will source freshly smoked kippers from trusted suppliers to ensure consistent quality and freshness.

Quality & versatility: Naturally high in omega-3 and packed with flavour, kippers are both nutritious and satisfying. They can be gently grilled, pan-fried, or baked, making them easy to enjoy at any time of day.

Serving inspiration: Serve grilled with buttered toast and poached eggs for a traditional breakfast, or pair with seasonal greens and potatoes for a simple, wholesome meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Traditional Whole Kippers?

›

Traditional Whole Kippers are whole herring that have been cured and naturally smoked using traditional methods. This process gives the fish its distinctive golden colour and rich, smoky flavour, making it a classic British favourite.

How should Traditional Whole Kippers be cooked?

›

Traditional Whole Kippers are best gently grilled, baked or poached. Cooking them slowly helps bring out their natural oils and smoky flavour. They are often served with buttered toast, eggs or a squeeze of lemon.

Where do your Traditional Whole Kippers come from?

›

When local herring are available, our Traditional Whole Kippers are smoked in our smokehouse here in Devon using traditional methods. When local herring are not available, we carefully source kippers from trusted smokehouses that follow the same traditional smoking techniques.

Do Traditional Whole Kippers contain bones?

›

Yes. Traditional Whole Kippers naturally contain bones as they are prepared from whole herring. Many of the bones soften during cooking and are commonly eaten, though larger bones can easily be removed.
