Peel Things to Do

For those unfamiliar with that Manx speciality, the kipper, it's a smoked herring and a breakfast delicacy - although here I have to confess I've never got round to trying them at that time of day! Traditionally served with potatoes on the Island, they can also be used for things like kedgerees and you can feel good about eating them because they are a fine source of Omega 3! Peel is a centre for traditional curing and the website attached gives details of the process, its history, recipes, guided tours of the smokery and so on. You can also order them online - and you will be pleased to learn that the vacuum packing process is very effective!
Update: one of the kippers in the picture has now been used for a kedgeree (using the recipe on the website). Very impressive! - it gives quite a spicy effect and tastes rather different from the same dish made with something like smoked mackerel.
