Herrings being prepared for being smoked at the famous Whitby kippers shop: Fortune's kippers. The smokery is a family business

Park on the clifftop at Whitby Abbey, then take the 199 steps down to Henrietta Street and pitch up at the extraordinary, evocative ramshackle hut that is Fortune's evocative kipper smokery. Decades of smoking over oak shavings has left the shed blacker and thicker than tar. The kippers are sold in pairs and wrapped in newspaper, an unmissable Whitby institution.
