Kippers without a huge lump of butterKippers packaged without butter are quite rare these days, so these are useful if you are watching your cholesterol or have liver problems etc. These are easy to cook. Occasionally there are too many bones but that's kippers for you.

Good, Honest Pre-Packed Kipper FilletsTwo good sized fillets in a pack make a satisfying and very filling breakfast for one. Nicely filleted with only a few soft pin bones left. With over sixty years 'kipper' experience I rate these as very good and will certainly buy them again.

A Good Second Best.Not in the same class as real, bone-in, oak smoked kippers but, for a processed kipper, pretty good. Plump, succulent and tasty these are a good second best to the real thing.

Super food kippers loads of omega 3 & calcium.I thought I would try these kiln smoked British kippers , glad I did I found the to be excellent very tasty , set them up with creamy, Dijon mustard mashed potatoes, one poached egg , and splash of cider apple vinegar, super inexpensive light meal . One reviewer complained about fine bones , that’s part of any kipper , if cooked correctly these bones become soft and digestible a source of calcium for your metabolism.
