Kippers in Lincolnshire
Kippers, traditionally smoked herring, hold a significant, albeit niche, place in Lincolnshire's seafood heritage. While not a primary fishing ground for herring today, the county, particularly areas around Grimsby and Cleethorpes, was historically a major centre for fish processing. This legacy continues with a few specialist producers maintaining the traditional craft of kipper smoking, catering to both local demand and broader UK markets.

Kippers Industry in Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire's processing capacity for kippers is now concentrated in smaller, artisanal smokehouses rather than large industrial operations. Grimsby, historically a colossal fishing port, still boasts businesses like Alfred Enderby, a renowned traditional fish smoker, who continues to produce high-quality, oak-smoked kippers. This niche sector provides skilled employment and upholds a valuable part of the region's food history, with products often distributed through specialist retailers and online, rather than directly from local ports.
