The shop

Smoked fish, sent chilled to your door.

Everything here is cured with the family recipe and oak smoked over days behind the harbour wall in Ardglass. Choose chilled delivery across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, or collect from the smokehouse on Harbour Road.

Prices and pack sizes will be set before the shop opens. Nothing on this page is for sale until then.

Sliced oak smoked salmon

Our core product

Farmed salmon, mostly from Scotland, from suppliers we have trusted for years rather than the cheapest boat. Cured with the recipe the family has used since 1923, smoked over oak for days, then sliced and packed.

Sliced oak smoked salmon

Thin slices of oak smoked salmon, ready for the table. Gentle smoke, a clean cure and nothing added that does not need to be there. This is the pack most of our customers come back for, and the one that people from Ardglass ask us to send to Dublin and London.

Sourcing: farmed salmon, mostly Scottish. Supplier names to follow once Paddy has confirmed them.
