Needless to say we were pretty bored. It is a lovely smell, a lot better than that of tripe, which my mother cooked from time to time. Here in Australia we have smoked salmon and smoked cod, imported from South Africa, which is a pretty good and cheap alternative. We had a trip to a kipper factory in Arbroath in Primary School.

Have you tried the foolproof no smell method of cooking in a jug? Take a tall jug, add headless kippers shoulder first so tails are sticking out, then add enough boiling water to cover kippers up to their tails. Put a side plate on top to insulate. Leave for 5-6 minutes then pick up kippers by their tails, draining them before placing onto warmed plates and put dabs of unsalted butter on their insides. You know kippers are cooked when the tail, backbone and attached ribs come away from the flesh like a cartoon fish skeleton. Don't worry about the softened hairfine Y bones -calcium!
