Fortune's Kippers

My last stop of the day was at Fortune's - Whitby's only traditional smokehouse. It was founded in 1872 by William Fortune and is still trading on the same premises over 150 years later. It is currently staffed by the sixth generation of the family.

Fortune's is world famous for its kippers, which you can only buy from the small shop on the premises. Many celebrity chefs have visited the shop including James Martin, Mary Berry, Rick Stein, the Hairy Bikers, and The Two Fat Ladies.

I'm not a fan of kippers myself, but I bought a pair to take home for Mark.Read more
