Old Travel Blog Photograph Barrs Loch Fyne Kippers Shop Rothesay Scotland
Old Travel Blog photograph of Barrs Loch Fyne Kippers Shop in Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland. A kipper is a whole herring, a small, oily fish, that has been split in a butterfly fashion from tail to head along the dorsal ridge, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold smoked over smouldering woodchips, typically oak. In the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, Japan, and a few North American regions, they are often eaten for breakfast. In Great Britain, kippers, along with other preserved smoked or salted fish such as the bloater and buckling, were also once commonly enjoyed as a high tea or supper treat, most popularly with inland and urban working-class populations before World War II.
