What is "kipper"?
Kipper is a type of fish, often herring, that has been salted and cold-smoked, resulting in a distinctively rich and smoky flavor. The fish retains its natural oils during the smoking process, giving it a tender and moist texture. Kippers are known for their deep amber color, firm flesh, and flaky consistency. With their intense smoky taste, kippers offer a unique and savory experience that is often enjoyed as a breakfast staple or used as a flavorful ingredient in various dishes.
Examples
I prepared a simple yet delicious dinner by pan-frying kippers with a squeeze of lemon juice.
