German substitute for "Devereau's Whole Smoked Manx Kippers"
German substitute for "Devereau's Whole Smoked Manx Kippers"
As some of you older TTers will know, I absolutely love Deverauxs Kipper from the isle of man!
In the UK, I get them from the local fishmonger..... or even order online if I remember in time!
I also used to really enjoy Peppered Mackrel fillets in sunflower oil... ( Warmed in Microwave and then eaten on toast!!)
Last week, I spotted Smoked Herring fillets in oil.... ( In my local Globus)...
Today, I slapped the bread in the toaster.... Grabbed a can ox oxtail soup and spotted the Herring fillets !!!!
Nicely warmed through..... Smothered my toast with them..... Scoffed in less than 4 minutes!!
Very very close to Manx Kippers.... Just not quite so "Smokey"

I miss smoked haddock and other smoked white fish. Love smoked oily fish too, so thanks for the info. Though, on way back home this summer, long journey from the north, a couple on the train took up 6 seats with their luggage, took their smelly boots off, revealing smellier socks, to have a nap. On waking they opened and shared a couple of tins of mackerel... Fishy indeed.

If you don't have a Globus supermarket around (as suggested by the OP), Amazon can help, but it is a rather large order: 19 cans of that product comes down to ~ €2.16 per can.
Just sayin'...

Re: German substitute for "Devereau's Whole Smoked Manx Kippers"
Bücklingsfilet has long been my DLand replacement for UK kippers....they're both essentially from the same fish family - herrings - but are made rather differently.
A UK kipper is essentially a whole herring split open, salted lightly and smoked slowly over wood. The smokiness tends to be aromatic rather than intense, and there’s even a certain sweetness that comes from the slow curing. Typically served swimming in melted butter which emphasises the bright yellow colour!
On the other hand the Bücklingsfilet is hot-smoked rather than cold-smoked, so the flesh firms up and takes on a deeper golden colour, closer to a cooked texture than a cured one. Once it’s filleted, you get these neat, dense pieces with a stronger, more savoury smokiness....

I never mind when titles are changed for more clarity on the subject matter. Even my own. 
I hope you aren't taking it personally, Spidey.

The thing is... It was a intended as a general "Fish" thread... Already had smoked haddock and Mackrel mentioned...
