EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by NCJ in 1991, we are transported back to the heart of Craster, a charming fishing village nestled along the rugged Northumberland coastline. The image showcases an age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations - the making of the renowned Craster kippers. Within the rustic walls of a traditional smoke house, herrings are meticulously prepared for their transformation into these delectable smoked delicacies. The scene is alive with activity as skilled workers expertly handle each fish with care and precision. Their weathered hands move swiftly, filleting and preparing the herrings before they are carefully laid on racks to be slowly infused with rich smoky flavors. The air is thick with anticipation as wisps of fragrant smoke curl around the room, lending an ethereal quality to this snapshot in time. It's impossible not to be captivated by the dedication and craftsmanship displayed by these individuals who have devoted their lives to perfecting this ancient art form. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how deeply intertwined communities can become with their local industries. It speaks volumes about both our connection to nature's bountiful offerings and our ability as humans to transform them into something truly extraordinary. NCJ's lens has immortalized not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those unsung heroes whose tireless efforts continue to shape Craster's identity today.
