Just follow your nose;-)

Fortunes kippers are literally world famous and all Fortunes kippers come from one little shed on Henrietta Street in Whitby. To find it, go to the foot of the 199 steps up to the Abbey and St Mary's church and then follow your nose! The rich, smokey aroma will lead you here.

Isn't it lovely? I wish this blog had a smell function so I could share it with you, that tarry, fishy smell...

As well as kippers they smoke other things including bacon which we bought for our breakfast tomorrow.

Some might say that whoever owns Fortunes is missing a huge financial trick to sell only from here, to not get involved with wholesale, franchising and merchandising. My marketeers brain whirrs with the ideas and possibilities of it.

But maybe the fact that you can only get Fortune's smoked goods by going to Whitby to their little shed during the few hours a day they are open is a good thing and part of their charm. But surely an e-commerce website wouldn't hurt? Yes it would? Oh ok then. Good job we find ourselves in Whitby often then. Roll on breakfast time.
