Kippers

[BensGrandad]

I've never tried it myself but allegedly, if you're using bagged ones, put a couple of small knife stab holes in the bag. Lay two slices of lemon on the bag and wrap it tightly in silver foil. Now microwave them for 1 minute - I'm told you definitely won't be left with any kipper smell.

Did you not mean cling film rather than tin foil?

Like what you've done there, but yuck!

People still eat kippers?

No, fishmongers put them on the slab each morning for a laugh.
Seriously, i love kippers (proper ones) lightly grilled with butter is the only way, stink the kitchen out and taste them for 3 days every time you burp, its all part of the experience.
Also smoked eel, delicious.

I love the smell personally. Though it does make me want to eat more kippers. Sends the cat a bit bonkers too.

Great goalkeeper for us in his time

Yes he was, so why is he boiling him?

Seriously, I enjoy a kipper too, but they certainly are smelly chaps.

Well this one stinks of fags and booze.

Hope the wee beastie gets some of your kipper.

I've got one in the fridge and am planning to get stuck in in the morning for breakfast. What's stopping you?

Things have got me down a tad of late but, after seeing this, I'm right as rain

Buy fresh and not the boil in the bag stuff.

Boil in the bag, and don't touch the other stuff.

 

[Dolph Ins]

Boil, boil-in-the-bag. DO NOT follow the instruction to pierce, place on plate and microwave. My microwave still stinks 2 years later!

 

[Justice]

My fingers smelt of kippers once after a rendezvous with a dodgy bird at the back of Rutherfords in the 90's.

How is the best way to cook kippers without leaving a terrible smell in the kitchen. I read that standing them in a jug and adding boiling water works so tried it but I still had the smell lingering for ages.

the boiling water method is best but people dont do it properly.
My mum was from the outer Hebrides and cooked them perfectly with no smell

use the boiling water method, make sure the tails are at the bottom in the boiling water, slice the tail in the middle with scissors about a one inch cut should do it, the odour of the kipper will ooze out naturaly into the water and not be a problem as their smell comes from the back end and not the head

Cook them the same as smoked haddock. Turn oven on to 160c, wrap fish up in aluminium foil adding a knob or two of butter, cook for 20 mins. When ready remove from oven place under extractor fan [at full power], remove foil and serve. Delicious cooked in their own juices.

 

[Machiavelli]

Just whacked one under the grill, and the Mrs and I had half each for breakfast. Delicious. The kitchen whiffs a tad though.

She's well taken care of

An Arbroath Smokie is a thing of beauty. Yes, I know it's not technically a kipper, but still.

r.

I must admit to also enjoying one of them late at night with a good brandy in the study.

Microwave with a cover over the pan - and wash it up IMMEDIATELY after you have served them (with a poached egg).

Why would you wash it up with a poached egg?
