How to cook cold smoked kippers
Comments(6)
Following my post on Craster Kippers, I discovered from Dan at the River Farm Smokery that not all kippers are hot smoked. He had offered me some large olive cans for the kitchen garden so we popped into the shop buy some treats.
There were packs of Scottish kippers – ingredients: herrings, salt and oak smoke. When I unwrapped them the next day their flesh was pinkish. We grill Craster kippers for eight minutes. I wasn’t sure how to cook these so I put them under a low grill 130c for 14 minutes (skin side down) and served them with a chunk of lemon and warm buttered toast. They were delicious with a definite delicate herring flavour. Brilliant. Thanks Dan.
Thank you for your comments. And a bit of silly bath time fun with the Frothing Sea Monster trick!

I treated myself to a kipper on Sunday for breakfast – I just covered it with a kettle of water, covered it and left it while I got on with eating a grapefruit. But then mine must have been hot smoked I think! A big nob of butter and some wholemeal toast…
Hi Richard,
My mum uses the hot water method, it works well. I find that grilling them gives them more texture.
Hi Fiona, glad you got the tins and thanks for the mention….
The tins are great, Dan. The perfect size for a tomato plant.
My doctor put me on a low salt diet so I soaked the kipper in a bowl of cold water for 3 hours,patted it with a paper towel then put it on a piece of foil in the toaster oven, skin side down for 20 min.on high.Very nice.
Hi Lewis,
Great idea for reducing the salt! Thanks for leaving a comment.
