I eat a lot of canned fish. I love the convenience of it as a nutritious guilt-free mid-day/evening snack. I look forward to coming home after work and popping open (also easy open lid, awesome) a can right out of the cupboard. Bar Harbor has become my go-to for Smoked Kippers, and one of the things I love most about it is the size of the can. This is 6.7 Ounces! That is a lot of fish, and they are able to fit meaty substantial filets in there because of it. It is the perfect size to complement a salad or some bread to round out a meal. Or as a snack, I eat it on toast with capers, mustard and pepper, sometimes together or each apart. It is savory, smoky and splendid. BPA free cans are critical when eating canned fish regularly. These have become a staple in my kitchen. I buy 12 cans every 4 weeks, and plan to do so for the indefinite future.

Now these are some really good Kippers. The fillets are nicely smoked, with good portion size and especially good flavour. I very much recommend these to any Kipper connoisseurs out there.

I believe that Bar Harbor Wild Smoked Kippers are the best canned smoked fish I have ever had. the can is relatively easy to open, filets keep their shape, I am convinced that they have exceptional nutritional value, and I think they are yummy! I often open a can, drain (and drink or save) the juice, and squirt in some horseradish mustard or just plain horseradish and maybe add cut-up pickled okra or olive salad or green chili (for example), and eat most of a can in one sitting. It is plenty of protein for a meal...or 2! I try to always have them on hand. I am a 74-year-old woman, 5'3" and 123 lbs. I have arthritis in my thumbs so sometimes have to grab the pull tab with a cloth or napkin.

I first ate sardines as a kid. My Dad had them all the time - snacks while watching football, Friday nights when his friends were over for poker. They were a staple on our family camping trips. I liked them then and I like them now although until recently I didn't eat them as much as I used to. I keep a can or two in the pantry and enjoy them now and then. Recently, I went to a gourmet food store and found Bar Harbor All Natural Smokes Wild Kippers. They were on sale so I bought a couple of cans. UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE! Comparing these to the regular sardines I grew up with is like comparing a 10 year old Kia to a brand new Lexus. The Bar Harbors are absolutely delicious! I just served these as an appetizer to some friends I had over for a BBQ. I opened a few cans and put the fish in the middle of a serving plate and surrounded it with a variety of crackers. My guests thought this was some kind of expensive imported smoked fish, they loved it and it disappeared quickly. If you have ever had sardines and enjoyed them then you will be extremely happy with these. It is hard to get over to that little gourmet grocery all the time, so I am very very very happy that I can order these on Amazon - and at a great price. Yes, Amazon's price is less than I pay at the gourmet store.

There are probably better canned kippers out there but I can’t afford them and I doubt that I could tell the difference. I have tried many brands, and Bar Harbor are the best of the “premium” brands. Nice size, firm, and not oily. My search is over - get ‘um, they are tasty.

These are the best smoked kippers I've ever had

This seems so rare nowadays.

Wow... words may not be able to describe the delight these brought me. One of my new favorite tinned fish treats.
