manx890 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Simples: Buy one or 2 at the break-ie in Peel consume while hot and you are still enjoying the lovely taste every 4 minutes for the next few hours while your back in Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I walked through Castletown recently on an early Sunday morning and was very surprised but pleased to smell kippers being cooked in many of the houses I walked passed. The houses were along the smaller lanes in Castletown and the kitchen windows were open. I think that must be one of those 'smell memories' but a pleasant one nonetheless. Instead of going out and buying a kipper bap, maybe just stay at home and make your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Kipper baps? What about the bones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 If the kipper is done properly, there shouldn't be any bones. There is an easy way and several hard ways to fillet a kipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I wish I knew the easy way. The other difficulty people have with kippers is the bones. WC Hodgson explains in The Herring and its Fishery (quoted by Jane Grigson in her Fish Book): "Eating a kipper is quite simple if it is laid correctly on the plate to start with, that is, with the skin uppermost. With the head twoards you, lift up the skin from half of the kipper by running the point of the knife along the edge and fold the skin back. This exposes the flesh on top of the bones, and it is quite easy to remove it in fillets, leaving the bones untouched. When this side has been eaten, turn the kipper round on the plate so that the tail is towards you and repeat the process on the other side." Jane Grigson comments: This works. It's true, it does, because we both tried it a couple of weekends ago. But it's more of a palaver than what I normally do, but, unlike Mr Hodgson (somehow, I feel he must be a man), I am not equal to the task of describing it. But it works too. food blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshimajin Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 i'm happy with my spelling . when i lift school i did know how to spell my own name it must of been mummy droping me 2 many time's how ever for a self tort thicko i get bye. as for stu the fat bugger if he says any thing about theman and his spelling he is going to lose some pounds when his glass jaw gets rebuilt The message is perfectly clear! That's what counts. Watchit Stooooooo. When in the mood to eat a kipper I enjoy experimenting with filleting it on my plate. Mind you I still think plenty of rough brown bread is handy. Off topic, when I lived in Japan, at New Year they would eat a dish called mochi - which was made with pounded rice and had the consistency of one of those extra bouncy little rubber balls that used to be popular. A number of Japanese choked to death every New Year on them. When I asked what the best way of dealing with a choking attack I was told that if someone was choking on mochi you needed to thrust the suction tube of a vacuum cleaner into their mouth and try to extract it that way. I suspect brown bread to deal with kipper bones is less traumatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
