Here are my attempts at it:
{jIHvaD *kipper* yIvut. nIQ vISopmeH jIchegh.} - First cut.
{jIHvaD *qIpper* yIvut. nIQ vISopmeH jIchegh.} - Same as the
first, but with "kipper" transliterated. I know some people don't
like to do that, but I think it adds a little more Klingon flavor
to the written form.
{jIHvaD bIQDep yIvut. nIQ vISopmeH jIchegh.} - I don't like this
as much, because I don't want any ol' fish cooked for me. Smelt
or Amberjack probably would not be too good for breakfast.
