Kippers image

Kippers, or cured herring, is a British institution. According to Alan Davidson, a food historian and the author of "The Oxford Companion to Food," this dish originated as a way to preserve the herring; but the curing process -- involving salting, drying, and cold smoking -- imparted such a delicious flavor to the fish, the dish has remained a favorite among the English.

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 3/4 pounds whole kippers, butterflied
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

To keep submerged in boiling water, cover fish with parchment paper and a small cutting board. Place something heavy on top to weigh kippers down. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes. Move fish to a serving plate, skin side down, and top with butter, if desired.

I followed the recipe exactly and the kippers turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still moist, and the skin was crispy. I served them with scrambled eggs and toast, and it was a great breakfast.

I followed the recipe but my kippers didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit dry.
