[edit] English Definition

There is an alternative defenition of a Bloater. In England Bloaters are found mainly in the form of a "paste", a savoury spread for bread. Bloater paste sandwiches have been a main ingredient of the traditional English afternoon tea particularly during the Edwardian era. The Bloater in this case is a large fatty herring, salted and briefly smoked. Shiphams of Chichester still make Bloater paste.
