Ardglass harbour and the original 1923 kiln behind the harbour wall, early morning
Harbour Road, Ardglass, Co. Down
Oak smoked in Ardglass since 1923.
A family smokehouse behind the harbour wall. Four generations, one recipe, and fish cured slowly over days, not hours. Now sent chilled to your door across the UK and Ireland.
The original kiln still stands.
Lit in 1923, a few steps from where we smoke today.
Three things about us
1923
Four generations
One family has smoked fish on Harbour Road since 1923. The recipe has been handed down with the business.
Oak
Oak smoked
We burn oak and nothing else. It gives a clean, gentle smoke that suits fish.
Days
Days, not hours
The cure takes days. It is the slow way, and it is the only way we know. Read the story.
From the smokehouse

Whole sides of smoked salmon
For a big spread. A whole side feeds a table, a party or a Christmas morning, and slices as thin as you like.

Head smoker
Paddy has stood at these kilns for forty years.
He knows when a side is ready, and he will tell you it is not complicated. It just cannot be rushed.
Paddy has been at the kilns on Harbour Road for forty years, smoking fish over oak the way it has been done here since 1923.
Paddy's own words on the smoke and the cure will be set here, in his voice, once we have recorded them.
