Kippered Herrings
Ingredients
Directions
Split open the fish at the back with a small knife and remove the roes and guts.
Put the roes and guts into pickle as for bloaters and let them salt.
Hang the fish on sprat-frames to drip.
Place two stretchers across each fish on a clean table with their backs upwards.
Suspend the fish on the frames and smoke them until the backs are a bright yellow tinge.
