Kippers

rusty the athlete

I sorely miss kippers but have never come across these delightful smoked herring anywhere in Ireland. Is it only an English thing?

vicwatson

tesco stock them

The Hill Billy

As do SuperValue (vac-packed), & Lidl/Aldi too, I think. But try a local fishmongers first if you have one.

Tried most of these outlets in Tralee, but no luck. I guess Kerry folk are just not turned on by kippers. Ill check Dublin out on my next visit.

Can you not get them canned?

No way man! They are not brined or usually stored in any liquid medium. I am pretty sure they would be completely spoiled with such treatment.

Book yourself into Harveys Point for a little break away, and have them cooked fresh and served to you at your breakfast table.
Best kippers I've ever tasted.

Got some lovely ones in Wright's in Howth at Christmas. Any large supermarket or decent fishmonger should have them.

two wheels good

Search for a local smokehouse online. I know you can order them online from Union Hall.
I wouldn't normally think of ordering food online but they must be the ideal perisheable food for postal deliver.

Dunnes NCR have them at the fish counter saw them today

The tinned ones (in oil) aren't bad at all.


Tesco do them v.nice.


Supervalue Westport have them regularly - they are excellant though they do insist on calling them Smoked kippers.

Gloomtastic!

Saw them in Nolan’s Clontarf last week.
