I do like pickled herring either plain or with sour cream. So I'd like to try kippers but I don't even know if they are available here.
They are.

The price isn't that bad, until you add in shipping.
There are almost certainly other suppliers.
"smoked fish USA" entered into a search engine produces a few hits

They do salmon and a few types of freshwater fish; catfish, perch and carp. Spoonbill is quite cheap, but I thought that was a bird.
I didn't look at the shipping. It might be worth a try.

Well, that was a good pre-Christmas day: a good start followed by three miracles.
(SNIP for brevity's sake)
It is the yellow shop on the left

The whole area is like that; it will be entertaining watching installation of on-street EV charging

Sadly, it may very well be those "itty-bitty shops" that get "eminent domain"-ed out of existence to acquire the space needed for such infrastructure.

Soooo... 9°F/-13°C this morning when I went out to defrost wifey's car. That's not "nipply"; that's "Nipples cracking off" weather.

Hmmm, it's 9C in the garage at the moment, and that's a bit brisk. 9F is definitely cold. But tolerable if it's dry. If it's damp (pretty well a given in Dampland) then it's seriously cold.

I know... I actually put on a vest. And pants.

even God thought pants were a bad idea.
