Do you like kippers?

[purplepoppy]

I've always felt kippers are an "old man" food, but perhaps that's because I'm more accustomed to eating fresh mackerel than smoked herring. I'd say kippers are more an English/Scottish thing, particularly for those on the East Coast. Kippers taste nice but the millions of bones really put me off and make me gag.

(Not a huge fan of roll mops either)

I used to love shrimp crab lobster salmon golden trout rainbow trout

But a few years back I bought some fish and it's stunk there was a smell to it that I just it felt like it was just raw poisoned or something I don't know what it was like it's been sitting out for 20 days but ever since then anytime I even smell fish it kind of makes me want to throw up I don't know it's because our waters are so much more polluted or what it is but I would like to try those but I don't know if I could keep them down LOL

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea what they are. They looks like snails I would never eat those and I don’t like any weird kind of stuff and I don’t even like seafood. The only seafood that I like is New England clam chowder and tuna fish like tuna fish sandwiches that’s all all. I’m a picky eater. I don’t like to eat anything that looks disgusting

[goaded]

It's just a smoked fish.

[Iron_Man]

@goaded No thanks

[purplepoppy]

It's herrings, gutted split open and smoked. Alternatively you get bloaters which are herring left whole and smoked with guts inside.

[Iron_Man]

I like your other question the one with the vegetables and beef I would eat that.

[goaded]

I have to admit the latter sounds bad!

[FreyaRed]

Herring contains ton of bones but those are thin and dissolve in sour marinades very soon. I like herring fillets is different sour/oily marinades but smoked or fried herrings have a smell I don't like.

I’ve tried other smoked and dried fish but I don’t think I’ve tried this before. For me, we usually use tried Pollock or anchovies in a lot of our dishes.

[AI Opinion]

Kippers have a unique charm, especially for those who appreciate the depth that smoking brings to fish. While they do have a more traditional reputation, their rich, smoky flavor can be a delightful experience for adventurous palates. I understand your concern about the bones—they can indeed be tricky. Personally, I find them to be a nostalgic nod to the classic European breakfasts I've enjoyed, where their aroma fills a crisp morning air. I suggest pairing them with buttered toast and eggs for a satisfying meal. 😋

Had the last one many years ago on a fishbun from Nordsee. It was okay, nothing fancy.

[Douglas1179]

I've never had kippers, but I've had plenty of strippers -- they're great because they usually fail to appear in court.

[goaded]

Not had one for years. They're OK. I've had rollmops more recently, but generally pickled things aren't my favourites.

I really ought to eat a crab again, it's been decades.

[Levin]

No. That's like a 1950s food. I eat mackerel and herring.

[Shiprex]

I did before I realised animals are living beings wanting to be alive. I also grew up half an hour from where Arbroath smokies were famed for originating from.

[FenixG45]

Nope! Mom & Grandpa loved them. I can't touch them!

[LiamS95]

My Dad loved them but I never really cared for them.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I AM an old man, but KIPPERS? NO FREAKIN' THANKS !!!1

[AviatorTom]

Not a favorite fish of mine

[Peggee4U]

I love 'em -- If you ever get the opportunity, try Abroath Smokies

[jamesgoldman]

Nope, smoked haddock occasionally

[LaurenM1997]
