Tiny herrings!

Is it just where I live, or are all herring the size of sardines at the moment?

It makes for a tiny, but tasty kipper, but I wish they would let them grow up a bit before they fished them out. I prefer to have one to eat at time, less bones to deal with!

After about 3 hours smoking:



These had a really good kipper taste, with just enough salt.
