That fish is just fantastic. It doesn’t really get better than that.

I am not a fan of the term ‘food hero’… if I was forced to choose one person to bear that burden it would be Iain R. Spink, the guardian of the Arbroath Smokie…
Food writer, author & broadcaster
They were delicious…
Chef, restaurateur, author & presenter
It has a rich creaminess and moisture, and fresh like that is undoubtedly the best way to eat Smokies.

Buy Smokies Online
Every customer is valued, and as such I want all my customers to receive the freshest possible Arbroath Smokies; smokies of a quality that has won me many national awards, endorsed and used by so many of the country’s top chefs. However, in order to do that I do not keep a stock of 'ready- made' smokies. I prefer to smoke fish as near to despatch as possible, virtually smoked to order!
Unlike farmed fish such as trout and salmon, Arbroath Smokies (Haddock) are wild fish and thus need to be caught at sea. Occasionally there are times when bad weather limits the boats catching capabilities, which can then lead to shortages of supply on the fish markets. Whilst every effort will be made to ensure your order is despatched within two to three working days there may be instances when this is simply not possible so please bear with us. We will inform you if this is the case.
Due to difficulties associated with the ongoing Covid situation I am only able to work part time at the moment and thus only sending out orders on scheduled dates. The next day for despatch is;
Monday 8th February for delivery on Tuesday 9th.
