I was in Sainsburys yesterday and saw on sale some Beech smoked whole kippers.
I got a pair for breakfast this morning.
Talk about brittle bones!!!
The best I have had were Mank's Kippers.
Do you know of any better.
Please Not the Tied Dyed Filets.

The Co-op does these in the fridged section Scottish smoked kippers some peppered or plain, rarely a bone, no bones about it, but always beware! Regulary I get these they are vaccum prepacked the best I've found likes these (licks lips). And last kept in the chiller.

If I really wanted to eat kippers which I don't., I would find the closet fish market. If you aren't lucky enough to have one close by, the next thing I would do, is talk to your favourite chef in town, the best Inn or Hotel will probably have a chef to give all the info you need. Except his recipe of course.

Depends where you live in UK. In London farmers' markets seem to sell lovely thick and juicy ones, sometimes un-dyed, but very expensive. The other week a door to door fish salesman came with a big vanload of fish from "up North" somewhere, and promised to return every fortnight. His kippers were out of this world, but you need to raise a mortgage to pay for them. So the answer is to buy from someone who sources from proper fish markets, not from supermarkets who sell to the mass market

Manx kippers definitely the best but Whitby not far behind.

Is the Billingsgate (wholesale) fish market still in business in London - they used to sell the world's best kippers!

Not where I am, that's for sure.
I had a kipper breakfast once in England.
I think I am a very brave person.
