kippered herring

Salted smoked fish

Kippered herring is herring that has been split, salted, and cold-smoked—a traditional British preservation method.

Often shortened to kipper, it's a classic breakfast food in the UK, typically served whole with the bones in: kippers and eggs for breakfast.

The flesh is rich, oily, and distinctively smoky.
