I had a funny turn in Tesco's, saw some kippers and thought to impress Witchy with a Scottish breakfast. So I bought two. The man at the fish desk said serve them with scrambled egg & bacon. Does anyone have advice on how to cook these yellow things? We have eggs but no bacon.
On another gastronomical bizarrety we are awaiting our pies from the oven; We made these. Haggis layer at the bottom (real haggis - lungs, heart & liver), middle layer mashed swede (Finns love to mash Swedes!), mashed potato layer on top.
Aperitif Old Pulteney.

I hate haggis.
The old pulteney sounds acceptable.

Yes, thanks, very helpful, that.
Do I grill 'em or fry 'em?

I love kippers! Best I ever had was at the Bamburgh Castle Hotel at Bamburgh. Served with brown bread and butter and tomato garnish. Simple and perfect. Mind you, Chagall can prepare me kippers any time. My juices are flowing just reading his post. Guess what I'm having before my last shift tomorrow  Rog |

The fished from IOM right round the Scottish coast and down to Great Yarmouth, following the fish through the year. Our family had a half share of the boat and a set of nets. The Boy Andrew, a steam drifter. In 1936 they won the Prunier Herring trophy for landing the biggest single day catch of the season.  |

My Grandmother was a Norfolk Lass and was one of the herring lasses that folllowed the fleet round the coast. She met and married my Grandfather who was from Tynemouth. He was, I believe, at that time a foy boat man and later became the Tyne Commissioners boatman |

When they won the prize, the skipper, my great grandfather was lollygagging at home in Portsoy pretending to be ill, but as soon as he heard was on the next train to London to muscle in and take the glory. My dad's sister has been mad about it all her life and finally had an article in a GT Yarmouth paper a few years ago putting it straight that it was her father who should have got the prize. Families eh? |

Manx kippers available here in Skipton three times per week from the excellent market fish stall. Lovely stuff lightly grilled. Avoid grilling if you have anyone visiting later that day though 😃
