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?

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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


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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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 :D

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Ok... can I get someone to chew my food? must be some sort of benifit I can apply for!

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

its a sodding smoked fish , what do you expect :D :D :D

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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 )

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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:cool:

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

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. :D :D

Re: Boneless Kippers

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Just been checking.. haddock is not a kipper.. I've tried haddock and it's very nice.. but I don't think it is classed as a Kipper.

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

smoked haddock is lovely......

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Smoked Haddock is nice.... steamed and placed on a plate with slightley minted baby potatoes dressed in a coating of the finest butter... served with a salad of fresh rocket..fresh home grown tomatoes drizelled with a coating of olive oil mixed with lemon juice and a hint of mustard.. ummm

Re: Boneless Kippers

so unfortunatley you will just have to make do with them..:D

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Kippers are smoked Mackerel, very tasty, there is a close relation in Arbroath smokies.

Smoked haddock and cod comes in two forms, teh artifical 'smoked' variety usually bright yellow in colour or the proper smoked stuff usually slight yellow/brown hint to it. The latter is fgar superior IMHO, lightly poached on mashed spud witha runny poacked egg on top!

There is a stall that goes to Helmshore Farmers market that does smoked all sorts, prawns/marlin/black pud, you name it they smoke it

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Here's the yummy Chinese appetizer of Smoked Jellyfish...and of course, there's no bones!:D

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

They are actually smoked herring.

The Arbroath Smokie is traditionally a smoked haddock.

Re: Boneless Kippers

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

I like kippers but its the bones and the stink afterwards that i dont like, and they dont seem to fill me up!

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

I love the taste of kippers, but those bones really put me off. I haven't eaten a kipper in years.

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

Yuk.....I can't stand kippers...the smell makes me want to do a big technicolour spit. I once went on hols with hubby and he ordered kippers for breakfast.......I had to ask the waiter to move me to another table on the far side of the dining room...the sight and the smell of them made me heave.
Finnan Haddock is only slightly better....in that it doesn't have its eyes on you.

Re: Boneless Kippers
 

I do like kippers but yeah the smell, especially if you've microwaved them, lingers for hours.
