Kippers

Kippers are typically sold vacuum-sealed. Once opened, they should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

To cook, gently poach kippers in milk or water for 5-10 minutes, until heated through. Drain well.

Serve poached kippers with scrambled eggs, buttered toast, and a squeeze of lemon.

Kippers can also be grilled or pan-fried, but be careful not to overcook them, as they can become dry.

Eggs (scrambled, poached)

Butter

Lemon

Toast

Potatoes (hash browns, mashed)

Cream

Overcooking, which results in a dry and tough texture.

Boiling them vigorously instead of gently poaching, which can break them apart.
