What is kipper?

Kipper is a type of smoked fish that is popular in Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom. It is typically made from herring that has been split open, cleaned, and then cold-smoked over oak chips. The word "kipper" comes from the Old English word cypera, which means a basket used for carrying fish. Kippers are often eaten for breakfast, either on their own or served with eggs and toast. They are also commonly used in sandwiches, salads, and as a topping for crackers or biscuits. Kippers are high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a healthy addition to any diet. They can be found in some supermarkets and specialty food stores, both fresh and canned.
