What's the best way to cook them? 🤔

Maybe I'm just Mr Can-Opener but if you get tins of kippers and mix them up with rice, fry with a bit of spice or even just mix with a bit of coleslaw and in an interesting sauce (I love hoisin) that is quick and good. Smoked fish in combination with rice takes your mind to comfort food. I know a pub in Cheshire which does kedgeree and you get a reference to that sort of flavour. In fact I am now thinking I'm going to do an experiment frying the smoked fish and rice combination with some egg and see how that comes out??

The kippers I bought are frozen. I will defrost a couple and try your suggestion. I'm guessing that they don't need to be cooked too long, maybe a minute or so each side? Hey, I just thought of something, my mind is getting forgetful, I could have just "goggled" it eh? Silly me. 😲 😀

The one lock down skill I have learned is how to make egg fried rice. (And I love it). It's nice with salmon or mackerel but better with chicken or duck. And mushrooms. But no kippers. (Sorry).

That was what I thought. It is eaten for breakfast in the north of Germany. (from the fridge)

Love egg fried rice. Mushrooms, chicken, prawn and onions, but why not kippers? I am gonna go for it. That sort of comfort food mixes with smoked fish flavour in my head. What's the worst that could happen??

I never feed anything, to any of our pets, that I have not, personally, tried.

I always thought they were smoked herring. Why eat herring when the sea gave us mackerel?
