Our whole kippers are herring that have been split and then smoked over a blend of hardwoods. They're free from additives and dye, and are prepared with the central bone in place. Kipper fillets have fewer bones and are cut from below the head to just above the tail.
Can you buy kippers without bones?
Sustainable Scottish herring caught by our responsible sourced fishing fleet in the rich fish grounds around Scotland and smoked locally by one of Aberdeen's best smokers. These are classed as boneless kippers however there are usually some small bones contained that are edible.
What is kipper fillet?
A kipper is a herring that has been split, gutted, salted and smoked. Traditionally the whole fish is split from head to tail and served whole, but if you're putting it in a roll it needs to be a fillet.
