Brunswick Kipper Style Herring Fillets, 3.53 oz

Al dente texture, wonderful subtle smoked flavor. The aftertaste is exquisite...with hints of clam and mussel, I love it. Fillets aren't always continuous, and I see that pieces are overlapped to make one whole fillet. This is why the price is less than other brands. At least the meat is of high quality.

Been snacking on tinned kippered fish for decades, Brunswick has never let me down. All of them have always been great, as a lone snack or with crackers or a side of rice. Good stuff and still a good deal when you shop around. Have tried many other brands and Brunswick has always been the cleanest in rich flavor and without bones.

A good snack with a light smokey taste. Very good.

perfect and delicious

These are pretty good kippers, and I got a good batch (no leaky cans or anything). For those who haven't had them before and to use familiar terms, kippered herring is somewhat like tuna in consistency and texture. Yes, they smell a tad more fishy than tuna typically does, but this brand wasn't overwhelming. It's just there a bit. Although packed in oil, it drained easily enough, and I decided to cook mine by frying in a smidge of olive oil, with salt, pepper, a shake of Old Bay seasoning, and a few tablespoons of finely chopped red onion. Then I served it with eggs (hard-boiled, in this case). Cooked, the fishy aroma is virtually unnoticeable, and tasting it, the smoke flavoring comes through. The texture is crumbly, yet not dry (I didn't overcook), and I noticed no bones or other problems—at least not with the first can I tried. I bought these kippers mainly because I wanted more canned fish options available besides albacore tuna and the like, and these were significantly less expensive than the single brand carried by my local grocery store. Overall, I like them and may well get again once I make my way through the pack of 12 I got.
