They are already cooked.

The Dutch eat kippers cold for the same reason, unless they come
straight out of a smokery whilst still hot.

And very fine they are too!

You have made my mouth water with recollections of when I lived in
Spakenburg in NL. The town is famed for its fisheries and smokeries.
Smoked herring and smoked eel, direct from the smokers. Delicious!

Did you visit the Zuider Zee Museum in Enkhuizen where you can eat
kippers straight out of the oil drum that they are smoked in?

I certainly did! And the hand made sweets from the sweetshop as well as
sausages from the butchers shop there. I also still use (15 years later)
the handbrush that I watched made in the brushmakers.
That is a very special place. Well worth a visit if anyone finds
themselves in Holland.

The building was the 17th century spice warehouse of the Dutch East
Indies Company.

The place is magic, it contains everything a foreigner expects in NL,
but rarely finds. The indoor museum with classic Dutch sailing boats
in a hall in a dry dock is worth visiting too.
http://www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl/en/454...-hall/?id=1095


There's a picture of the smoke house here
http://www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl/en/513...egrond/?id=593

It also has a lot of traditional vegetable, flowers and fruit gardens
around the houses, including orchards full of fruit at the right time
of the year.

Any idea what it is like at the moment? You are having bad weather too, no?

They are fully cooked; to heat it I (briefly) poach or grill them.

Hmmm. I always thought that bloaters were coal-smoked, while kippers
were wood-smoked. Seems I was wrong! I must say, the idea of
coal-smoked anything doesn't sound very appetising.

Coal tar has all sorts of toxic chemicals.

We haven't been there this year.
Our garden and allotment are booming/blooming. I guess their gardens
are too.

It's sunny and windy again and 19C.

That sounds ok

It's coming down like stair rods here in N. Yorks today!

Something else I am glad to miss. OTOH we'll be there on Saturday.

How far north are you intending to come?

Is the Ouse still rising/falling?

Dunno, I haven't been to look.

Is wood tar any better?

That's a sensible question, bearing in mind the origin of coal.
I honestly don't know.
