Kippers in Norfolk
Norfolk holds a significant, albeit historically diminished, connection to kippers, a smoked herring delicacy. While large-scale kipper production has largely moved elsewhere, the county's coastal heritage, particularly around towns like Great Yarmouth and Cromer, was once central to the herring fishing industry that supplied kipper producers. Today, smaller, artisanal smokehouses like Staithe Smokehouse in North Norfolk uphold the tradition, offering traditionally smoked kippers to a discerning market.

Kippers Industry in Norfolk
Local processing capacity for kippers in Norfolk is now primarily focused on smaller, traditional smokehouses rather than large industrial operations. Historically, Great Yarmouth was a major herring port, with vast quantities landed for processing, including kippering. While large-scale kipper trade has declined, these artisanal producers contribute to local employment and tourism, maintaining a niche market for high-quality, regionally-produced smoked fish, often sold directly to consumers or through local markets.
