Why is a Manx style kipper called a manx style kipper?
This term should refer to a traditional whole split kipper that derives its colour from the smoking process, rather than from from dyes in the brining mixture. This is the way… that traditionally-produced kippers from the Isle of Man are produced, hence the use of "Manx" - it's probably more appropriate than when Manx is used to describe a breed of cat that doesn't have a proven link to the island. The flesh underneath the dark-brown smoked outside layer will be considerably lighter in colour than in a "dyed" kipper , where a colouring additive, e.g. E154, has formed part of the mix used in the brine curing process.
