Today I am going to tell you about the perfect no-cooking recipe, food that you can enjoy with a cold drink and some hearty rye bread sitting at the beach or on the balcony watching the sun go down over the sea. It´s no frills, honest and simple fare - delicious in its own right. I am talking about smoked fish, and of the tiny, golden Kieler Sprotten in particular. These small fish (sprats) were smoked in Eckernförde, a small seaside town in Northern Germany, an named after the larger, neighbouring town of Kiel. The smokeries used to be ubiquitous but sadly just one remains at the time of writing. Hopefully there will be a revival so future generations can enjoy this treat after an energetic day at the beach. You will find this recipe on You Tube www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHRlW21FpIk along with a stroll through small lanes lined with tiny houses and a look at some other delights of bygone days such as the sweet factory.
