Kippers, bloaters, buckling and red herrings

Five kinds of smoked herrings

A kipper is a herring which has been split from head to tail, gutted, salted and smoked. You'll find them here, whole or boned. You'll also find bloaters, which are smoked herrings, like kippers, but they are whole, not split. Both are wonderlully tasty with a great smoky flavour. A traditional breakfast dish, but we've had them on the barbeque, especially Manx kippers, then there's no smell in the house when you cook them! Buckling and red herrings are herrings that are smoked until they are cooked - kippers and bloaters need cooking. Kippers and herrings are rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fats which are believed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Quantity:

Bucklings are herrings that are smoked at higher temperatures so that they are ready to eat. They are gutted and headed with the roes left in, weighing 170g (6oz). Because of their bones they are best pulled apart and eaten with the fingers. A lovely rich flavour. We love this photo, which shows their lovely golden appearance.

Red herrings

Quantity:

Red herrings are salted for a month and smoked for a week. Soak for 48 hours, then fry with tomatoes. They are great as they are (they don't need to be cooked), very salty. They are about 120g (4oz) each. They were used to distract hunting dogs from the trail, hence a "red herring".
