Kippered herring

Kippered herring is a traditional Scottish delicacy made by filleting herring, then brining and cold-smoking the fish to develop a distinctive smoky flavor. The process involves salting the fish to preserve it, then exposing it to smoke at low temperatures, which imparts a rich, savory taste. Often enjoyed warm or cold, kippered herring is valued for its firm texture and bold flavor. It is commonly served for breakfast or in dishes like salads, offering a nutritious source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein. This preparation method extends the shelf life of herring while enhancing its flavor profile.
