Sir John Craster Breakfast Kipper

To enjoy kippers as they should be, it's best to 'jug' them.

Fill a large jug with boiling water, and simply place the kipper in head first with the tail just above the surface of the water. Leave for six minutes only, and your kipper will be cooked to perfection.

If you want to cook your kippers in a microwave oven, first cut off the head and tail. Place on a microwaveable plade and cover. Cook on full power for two and a half minutes. Serve immediately with newly baked brown bread and butter.

Craster Kipper Toasties

  • 2 cooked kippers
  • 2 slices of hot toast
  • Worcester sauce
  • Grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp double cream

Butter the hot toast generously and add a dash of Worcester sauce.

Mash the kipper fillets, and stir the cream in. Add the cheese to taste (about a teacup).

Spread this mixture onto the toast, and grill until the cheese bubbles. Serve hot, with long glasses of ice cold Newcastle Brown Ale.
