I always stock cans of Fish such as Tuna, Mackerel and Salmon, but NOT Kippers. Kippers are unfamiliar food to me and I have never used Kippers for cooking in my life. I decided to cook something with Kippers and this is the first attempt. Well… this is identical recipe to ‘Spaghetti Puttanesca with Canned Mackerel’ and I just replaced Mackerel with Kippers. Kippers are absolutely suitable to this dish.
