kippered

Preserved like herring

Kippered describes fish—typically herring—that has been split, salted, and smoked or dried.

A kipper is such a fish, traditionally eaten for breakfast in Britain: kippered herring with toast.

The word extends figuratively to anything preserved, cured, or exhausted: I'm absolutely kippered after that hike.
