Skin kippers and remove as many major bones as possible. 
Shred the flesh. 
Place the shredded kipper into a pan with shallots, lemon juice and butter and cook gently. 

Remove from the pan and cool.  
Mix with capers and coriander.  
Divide mixture into two lightly buttered ramekin molds, or make it in a single larger 
 buttered dish.  
Mix together the cream and eggs, season well with black pepper and pour over the kipper mix. 

Place into a hot water bath and cook in a 350 F oven for around 25-35 minutes (if using 
 individual ramekins but one big dish will probably take an hour to cook) until the custard 
 is set. 

Serves 4 to 6.
