- Classic breakfast dish
- Light lunch option
- Elegant supper
- Brunch centerpiece
To prepare, gently heat the kippers in their butter in a saucepan over low heat, or in a covered dish in the oven. Avoid high heat, as this can toughen the fish. The butter will melt and create a rich sauce. Serve immediately, perhaps with toast or poached eggs. The butter helps to keep the kippers moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process, ensuring a tender and satisfying result.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw kippers, these are pre-smoked and buttered, saving preparation time. The kiln smoking method provides a deeper, more complex flavor profile compared to some other smoking techniques. The addition of butter at the outset ensures a consistent level of richness and moisture.
Who it is for
