Breakfast Kippers with fried egg

Not really a recipe as such, but I am exploring all the dishes that can take or did take part of an English Breakfast. Today kippers. These are Manx kippers which are traditionally made in the Isle of Man off the west coast of England. They are cold oak smoked and have the most fantastic taste you can imagine.

Thanks for posting this. My great grandfather reportedly used to eat kippers and eggs all the time but there’s no one left in the family who remembers how they were prepared. I’ve been doing it completely wrong!

I know it's not really a recipe, but wanted to just cook it as I am exploring tradtional English breakfasts :)

Lovely, my mouth was watering watching that. Properly fried eggs too, most people fry them till crispy which I dislike as the brown bits get stuck in my teeth, soft fried everytime for me. Have you tried substituting a goose or duck egg over the hens egg? The flavour goes with the fish really nicely.
Must admit being Scottish, I prefer an Arbroath smokie over a kipper. (Smokies are haddock & kippers are herring). More succulent flesh & less bones.🐟😋

Never heard of an egg on kippers and definately no butter anywhere near. I do mine 2 minutes in hot water and 1 minute under the grill.

Poached kippers are traditional, but buttered kippers are too. The method shown here is a lot richer flavour but do make the house smell of kippers more.

Ai told me kippers go good with butter, pepper and lemon
