We had kipper for supper last night, and very good it was too. The ingredients on the label describes our meal beautifully: "Herring (fish), salt, smoke. Clupea harengus. Caught at sea, northeast Atlantic."
We bought it earlier in the day from our local fish merchant, A G Campbell, whose shop is on the other side of the road from us. It cost £2.20 and we were told it came from Aberdeen. While it was packed in plastic, the fishmonger was also selling a selection of fish from a chilled slab, including haddock fillets, cod fillets, whitebait (in small bags), fresh farmed salmon fillets, and lemon sole.
Can't be many fish shops like this left.
