Boneless Kippers

Just had a plate of kippers.. got them from tesco.. in the bag type with a dab of butter, they were very tasty.. but had some fine bones in em.. this is 2007!.. so can anyone tell me were I can purchase kippers with no bones at all?

Not sure that you can Mancie, think its luck of the draw, may have a better chance at fish market though.

you can't, fish have bones, eat them and weep

or pay someone to chew all your food for you as they did in medieval times

I know the feeling, 1 bone and all the rest goes in the bin, nothing worse

cows, sheep, chicken, duck (want me to go on) all have bones and I dont eat them, and I can get them all without bones in

nope, you can get 'parts' of them without bones, not all them, fish are a bit different in physiology

It's the little hairy bones in kippers that are the worst. Evil things they are.

its a sodding smoked fish , what do you expect

jedimaster · 02-03-2007, 23:29

you will be hard pressed to find a boned kipper unfortunately
as the bones are too fine to remove without destroying the whole fillet
(i know i tried it once )

OK.. but it's sodding 2007!.. you would have thought they would have invented boneless kippers in this day and age

As suggested, the only way is to get your maid to tweezer the little buggers out.

It would probably fall from together if they took all the bones out ...You will just have to suck your kipper and chuck the bones away......
By the way you have just made me fancy a kipper now,I might buy some tomorrow

Ok Granny.. and things have changed.. no need for your hubby to go out in the dangerous seas off the north coast.. if you ask your home help they could get some from asda/tesco.

Just looked up that what is known in Lancashire as Finny Haddock, is really called Finnon Haddock! Well you learn something new everyday.
