Smoked kippers, they're nice.
Now, could anyone tell me what the Spanish is for smoked kippers and if they're available in Spain???

Re: Favourite fish
As there are several food threads around at the moment I thought I would start one on favourite fish.
I am fed up with so called celebrity chefs trying to tell me that pollack, whiting, coley etc are as good to eat as cod,plaice or haddock etc.
If that was the case why haven't we been eaten those species for years?
When I used to go sea fishing I never took those fish home and threw them back, occasionally someone would take some home for the cat.
Now we are led to believe their tasty. What rubbish!
My favourite fish is skate.

Cuttlefish is a good meaty fish, excellent in fish soup and stews because it holds its shape, had it in Tenerife in a tomato and garlic based stew mopped up with loads of warm crusty bread

Arenque is a herring, But as they come in fresh, salted and smoked, to get the word kipper in Spanish, we must say arenque ahumado.

It's a bit like when someone refers to their personal PIN number. What they are really saying is, 'My personal personal identification number number.'
There is supposedly a hill in Wales whose name is 'Hill hill hill hill.'
The original people were asked by newcomers what the hill was, and were given the indigents' word for hill, = 'X' so they called it X hill. and so it went on.
