missuscluck Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We had kippers for tea tonight. I have never eaten kippers ever before. Im not really sure why. We went to Asda today and we stopped to have a nosey on the fish counter and noticed that the kipper fillets were 35p each. My daughter fancied a try so we bought one each for tea. I was unsure what to do with them so we opted for the breakfast method and had them with scrambled eggs with some chives snipped from the garden and some toast. A real budget meal at 35p a head with our own eggs. Im converted, they tasted really nice . Anyone else do anything good with kippers.

Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 if you like kippers try peppered mackerel. I just eat it cold, on a sandwich. I peel the skin off the back, slap it on a butty and yum! I bet kippers would be just as nice on a sarnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I adore Kippers,but they do repeat on me somewhat I think they are best breakfasted. Or maybe with some grilled tomatoes,new potatoes & crusty bread? Kedgeree is a staple in our house,but I always make it with smoked haddock - kippers have a much stronger flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratly0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 We love kedgeree but usually make it with smoked mackerel and its very tasty. I think any smoked fish would probably work. I like kippers too and don't see why it wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily95 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi If you like kippers then take a look at this site http://www.kipper.co.uk/recipes.html The recipe where you put the kipper in a jug is great because it doesnt make your kitchen smell as much!

Looney Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ewww kippers Smoked fish is one of the few things I don't like, I can't even force myself to eat it! It's a shame because I would love to like smoked fish, so many interesting recipes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I make Carl do his kippers in a jug - I can't stand the smell of them cooking (outside if the weather is good ). ....I can't bear the tiny hairy bones either, so I can't eat them I use smoked haddock in kedgeree.

Egluntyne Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Him Indoors loves them but they do pervade the atmosphere somewhat. I make Kedgeree with smoked haddock too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
