Sorry about that petal :D I've discovered that I can't speak, read or understand Canadian. I'll have to do a course.

When I make the regular Neptune kippers I poach them in water and milk first to get a bunch of the salt out before I fry them; are these very salty? If not I'll recommend them to my sister, who has Save On nearby. I looked in the Regina Save On website and no Dundee kippers.

Oooh Kippers :tounge_smile: I do love a kipper. I can't find any in Fredericton...boil in the bag or otherwise...it's odd for a country with such a big coast but not a kipper in sight...or Smoked Haddock. Love smoked Haddock...we often have Smoked Mackerel now, not the same at all, but readily available.

Wild. Product of Canada. The frozen Smoked Haddock Fillet is produced in the maritimes. It's a premium product that has a good old Canadian history. Sold by the LB.
Shipping is available on all items we sell. You can ship all across Canada except for Quebec, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories & Nunavut
Ocean Prime are also suppliers of Smoked Haddock - perhaps ask at one of the stores (link below) if they can get it in for you :) https://www.oceanprime.ca/smoked-haddock.html

Now I'm making kippers. Someone cleaned up the pizza I left in a fridge at work, and I decided to just go home and cook breakfast rather than go hungry.

Neptune boil in the bag buttered kipper fillets (170g). Sodium 850mg/170g or 5mg/g (contains milk)
Neptune regular kipper fillets (200g). Sodium 1500mg/200g or 7.5mg/g.
So the buttered boil in the bag have about 33% less salt.

I've never met a yellow fish I didn't like. Kippers and smoked haddock are two of my favourites. :)

Maybe it was horrible because it was poached in water? Fish should always be poached in milk, otherwise it gets hard and unpleasant. :nod:

I use some water and some half and half, and when I think it's right I take the fillets out, clean the pan, and fry them in butter. Neither hard or unpleasant.

Not hard, but I just remember the strong smell that stank the dining hall.

I use milk and a little butter. Not really sure if the butter makes a difference, it just seems right. :unsure:
