Now for the Cool Kipper


HERRING'S FINNS and ALL KINDS OF THINGS


A mammoth task has been undertook


These beautiful fish have been underrated for far too long.




In 1977, a total herring ban was put in place . As gill nets were abandoned with trawling and ring netting taking president, eventually this type of method resulted in over fishing of the mighty & humble herring. 




The ban was not lifted until 1983 and by that time the younger generation were no longer accustomed to herring on the menu and the 
market demand dropped considerably. 

The smokeress at The Dungeness Smokery is here to re-ignite a love for herring. Without the herring girls most would not have tried this fish.



                               1950's girls                      2000's girl     

After a good old splitting, salting & smoking they present themselves on your breakfast table.





Check tomorrows post for where you can buy these beauties this weekend.

That's Christmas breakfast salted!

FROM HERRING TO BLOATER



Salt it  ¦  Stick it  ¦  Bloat it

   

                             Select some happy herrings


             And give them some salt      

                            
                   Herrings need salt to preserve them


            Ice salt soldiers      


                                                      Stick 'em up
     
  
                                                      Stroke them into line                                                             

The marching parade   


      Into the herring hang & blast with smoke.


       Get ready to enjoy......

The Second Home of The Dungeness Smokery 2009


This was the second home of The Dungeness Smokery back in the 60's when it was a loved holiday home.






Unfortunately we can no longer retail from here in this idyllic holiday spot , not now really a place to earn an income but a place to enjoy the fruits of ones labour. 





'Nesser's' on the decline.
