Fortunes Smoked Kippers are a traditional smoked fish product made by Fortune's Kippers, a company renowned for its long-standing method of smoking fish in Whitby, England. These kippers are herring that have been split butterfly-style, salted, and cold-smoked over slow-burning oak woodchips.


This process imparts a distinctive rich, smoky flavor deeply ingrained in the heritage of British seaside culinary traditions. Fortunes Kippers has been operating since 1872, with the smoking done in historic smokehouses that are a key part of the local tradition and tourist attraction in Whitby.


Each kipper maintains a moist texture and a deep, smoky taste, widely appreciated by both locals and visitors.
