Grew up in England eating Kippers on toast.... with a little vinegar.
The fresh smoked (not frozen) kippers are 2nd to none compared to any canned fish listed in this thread but are extremely hard to find away from the source.
We did some work on Grand Manan Island a few years ago on some of the public wharfs and were given some by the fellow there that looks after the wharfs. He smoked them himself. I warmed them on a pc of tinfoil on the grill and ate them with eggs and toast. ..... WOW.
