What is a smoked herring called?

Answer 1

Hervé or, perhaps, Hermione——but that was before beginning the filthy habit. Now all the other herrings shy away from this one's tobacco teeth, so the name with which it was born is immaterial: Nobody ever uses it. Nah, what you want is the name for it in its afterlife as human food. I was going to just say a kipperbut Wikipedia [Kippewedia? Sorry] has given me a quotable cornucopia. So I will take up the train of Wikipedia's comtrails & will quote, in my own way, what they say herewith: -----------------------

A kipper is a split & smoked herring
A bloater is a whole herring smoked
A buckling is a bloater but hotter
& with its offal off the plate.
The British are said to be fondest
of eating these often at home
Tho George Orwell, the great British author
claims Emperor Charles V of Rome
[who died before Shakespeare existed]
was filled w/ so much herring-love
he rose a statue to the inventor
of the smoker called bloater above.

----------------------- That is what Wikipedia has to say on the matter, synopsised. I will add from experience [not personal, I dont eat those of us who had mothers] that it is not only those of us who reside, or whose ancestors once resided, in the UK that like smoked herring. For some reason, the eating of bloaters & kippers is a very cross-cultural experience. Do not ask me. I will leave you w/ an actual direct Wikipedian quote. You may make of it what you will. It does, indeed, enforce the idea of the herring as multi-culti phenomenon. Perhaps in Minnesota it just accompanies the gravlax. As for gravlax, I leave you to do yr own research. Think something like the Scandinavian version of kim-chi. Wikipedia:
In Northfield, Minnesota, kippered herring is a popular pizza topping.
