Kelvin 2,196 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Kippers are essentially cold smoked herrings so should not be too hard with a large smoker.The key would be to split the fish down the middle and brine overnight, then smoke at a very low temperature. ST or tommies would both work well.In a large smoker, keep the fish as far from the sawdust as possible, just get the sawdust smouldering then turn off the gas or heat source and let them slowly smoke at a low temp.Overnight if possible and top up the sawdust as it burns out. Try to keep the temp below 60 degrees if possible.Even easier in an electric smoker with temperature control and a timer.Few more tips herehttp://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=24167.0 netman21 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waspy 3 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I rekon kelvin is on the money there ,basically a smoked tommy ruff is very similar to a kipper ,unfortunately through over fishing true kippers now are hard to come buy from england or where the men in skirts live to the north ,i only have a toy smoker box but you have go me thinking now that if i smoke the tommies and then fry them in some butter it might be a very nice meal ,let us know how you get on .

Knackers 696 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 All the kippers that I have eaten in the UK (and I love them) seem to have been heavily brined prior to smoking. There was something different to them than cold smoked tommies, snook, mullet or STs, even though they had been brined as well. Maybe the kipper itself?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think most interpreted your question as how to home replicate the Scottish kipper experience with local fish species and a smoker.I enjoy the odd meal of kippers whenever the wife is not home and usually grill them till cooked and eat hot with bread. I have also made a version of kedgeree with leftover rice, pieces of kipper, pepper and lemon juice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/kipperkedgeree_87265Being a cold smoked and partially cooked fish product they need to be fully cooked, but once deboned, you could use them in any recipe for smoked fish. They would go good in a salad, dip, pasta, fish pie or with eggs. netman21 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knackers 696 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 What is in haggis?barley and offal and stuff.And are you on dial-up still? Google not working? "Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a sausage casing rather than an actual stomach." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
