Oak smoked salmon, sliced
The one we are known for. Scottish farmed salmon, cured to the family recipe and smoked slowly over oak here in Ardglass, then sliced and packed ready for the table.
Harbour Road, Ardglass · Co. Down
Oak smoked behind the harbour wall since 1923.
A family smokehouse, four generations on. We slow cure our fish over days, not hours, and send it chilled to your door across the UK and Ireland.
Photograph to come: the harbour wall and the original 1923 kiln
1923
One kiln behind the harbour wall. It is still standing, and we still use the family recipe that started there.
4 generations
The same family, the same trade. Declan has answered the smokehouse phone for forty years.
Days, not hours
Oak smoke and a slow cure. It takes longer. We think you can taste the difference.

The head smoker
Forty years at the kilns
Paddy has been smoking fish in Ardglass for forty years. He works to the family recipe, over oak, and he does not hurry it.
“Paddy, in his own words, on the smoke and the cure. To be supplied.”
Paddy, head smoker
He knows where every fish comes from, and he will not use a supplier just because they are cheapest. Mackerel and eel are landed here off Ardglass. The trout comes from a farm inland, not far away. Our salmon is farmed, mostly in Scotland, and we would rather tell you that plainly.
