I have just had kippers ( which I love) but the smell lingers on me all night. I wondered what people who have them for breakfast do
Kippers for breakfast?

Open a window. Or jug them. My Nana always used to jug kippers and her house never smelled like a smokehouse.
I haven't had fresh kippers for ages but if you get the boil in the bag ones and cook them for 10 minutes longer than it says on the pack the bones get softened up and you can just eat them without noticing they're there
Fresh kippers is a bit more of a problem but you can fillet them when they're cooked...............it might be an acquired skill though
Not much you can do about the stink..............open a window, clean your teeth after eating, eat them at a time when you have nothing much on that day, eg Sunday breakfast............or wait for nicer weather and cook them on the barbie outside............

I very much like a smoked kipper now and again, I can't recall ever having one for breakfast however.

Yup, that's how I do them and it certainly keeps the smell down.

It's illegal in most western countries
Basically poaching the kips

The John West boil-in-the-tin ones don't have too many bones, but there are sometimes still a few.
There was an old episode of "Doomwatch" where a company was trying to breed fish without bones!
You jug kippers by putting them in a tall jug (tails upwards) and then filling the jug to the top with boiling water from a kettle.
Leave them a little while and they cook perfectly.
It's a good way of eating kippers without having that awful fishy stink hanging around for days.

What - John West or the "Doomwatch" episode?
In the "Doomwatch", a place is injecting fish with hormones to make them grow without bones. This is having an odd effect on the men doing it - they are turning from gruff Welshmen into blokes who have "gone off their wives" and who prefer drinking cocktails to pints (ooh duckie).
It's actually one of the slightly better "Doomwatch" episodes; most are very poor.
I suppose if you want fish without bones you could always eat cartilaginous fish like skate or shark. Dogfish or "rock salmon" used to regularly be on the chippy menu when I were a lad
I'm only ever allowed to have them when we stay in a hotel - they are banned on smell grounds at home 
Lovely on a slice of toast

Sorry but the thought of that is knocking me sick. I don't understand how people find the time to do this in the morning, I can't even manage a brew! I can't eat anything strong or crispy either, soggy cornflakes in the microwave with loads of sugar on and a banana is nice, or cold butter on toast. Anything soggy the rest of the day is foul though
