Kippered herring has been a snack food for many decades, and is a staple in English Cooking. Basically, "kippers" are smoked herring, and yes, they are very delicious! I have also found that they can make a nice change-of-pace from tuna in fish-salad sandwiches. I make mine with catsup, mustard, spices, and a few drops of soya. I do not use mayo, since I'm allergic to it. The bread I use is hot dog buns. Easy to fill-and-wrap.

Ingredients

• 8-10 cans kippered herring
• 5 hot dog buns
• ½ cup yellow mustard
• ½ cup catsup
• 2 ozs soya sauce
