Product Description

A proper kipper is one of the great British breakfasts. Split, cold-smoked over hardwood and rich with a deep, savoury flavour, a good kipper needs very little done to it. This is traditional smoking at its best.

Grill for a few minutes each side and serve with butter melting over the top, or try the jug method: stand the kipper head-down in a jug of boiling water for a few minutes for a gentler, less pungent result. Either way, it is one of the most satisfying things you can put on the breakfast table.

Our kippers are made from whole herrings sourced from the South West coast. When local herrings are available, we smoke them in house. When they are not, we source freshly smoked kippers from trusted suppliers to ensure consistent quality year round. Prepared to order with nothing sitting in stock and sent out fresh on your chosen delivery day. Always fresh and never previously frozen, so you can freeze at home if needed.

Serve simply with butter and a wedge of lemon, or flaked through scrambled eggs on toast.

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.
