Discovering Craster Harbour: The Ultimate Smoked Kipper Experience!

When one thinks about traditional English food, non-English noses will be turned up in disgust, apathy or jealousy. Fish and chips, roast dinner, pie and mash, sausages, pork pies, sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, pease pudding, potted shrimp, full English breakfast, toad in the hole, shepherd's pie or cottage pie, trifle, scones, Eton mess, sticky toffee pudding, Victoria sponge cake, Cheddar, Stilton, Red Leicester and Double Gloucester cheese are just a few delectably English food items. However, today's video is about the former King of breakfasts, the infamous smoked herring or kipper, and the quintessentially English village, harbour and smokehouse of Craster on the wild and rugged Northumberland Heritage Coast of North East England, UK. Craster kippers were Queen Elizabeth 2's favourite breakfast, and kippers from Robson's smokehouse regularly tickled her tastebuds and broke the fast.

Loved this video start to finish ❤️
You could give Rick Stein a run for his money JB, perfectly cooked kippers. A corner of the world where the toughest people live, hope these traditions carry on forever 🙏 Perfect musical addition too. 😊

Thanks very much Carol, I really appreciate it. Yes, they breed them pretty tough in the North East, I must admit. Haha I wanted to use the Geordie version of that song but I would've been copyrighted. 🙏✌

The best place for Smokies is Arbroath (Scotland)

[@JBWanders73]

No, the best place for smokies is Craster 🙏... the 'Scottish' ones don't even come close 😂🙏✌

Beautiful place but a dreadful time to visit Jimmy🥶. Did you bring some smoked kipper home to eat with buttered toast?

[@JBWanders73]

As they say, beggars can't be choosers and it's pretty bad weather most of the year on that coast 😂No, the shop was closed. I had to go and get some from Waitrose 🙏✌

[@JBWanders73]

I had to go and get some kippers from Waitrose mate 🙏✌

[@brucewayne2773]

Nothing wrong with getting kippers from Waitrose 😋. @@JBWanders73

I love kippers. Could you not smuggle some back?? You could have put them in your son's case. Could you tell him only fair? I did buy him a pie!

[@JBWanders73]

I should've stashed some in the Spanish gypsies' hand luggage mate, and collected them Bangkok side haha
