Prime Scottish or Norwegian salmon fillet cured and smoked by the Chapel and Swan team. It’s a slow, hands-on process in which we must gauge the conditions of humidity, temperature and seasonal variations in fish size and physical make-up. In the salt-cure, the water in the fish is exchanged for a percentage of salt that prevents the fish from perishing. We then air-dry for a minimum of 24 hours before cold-smoking begins. The Black Forest oak is left to smoulder gently overnight as the salmon takes on colour and the woody aroma from the fuel. After smoking, the fish ‘sets’ for another 4 hours before we consider it ready to be sliced. This gradual, artisan process yields a much less oily texture than many mass-produced versions and offers a perfectly textured fillet with a rounded smoky flavour throughout.

Our second purchased since Christmas. Delicious cold with eggs or cream cheese bagels as well as experimental cooking in fish cakes and with pasta. Plenty for 2 of us to get through. Will be back for more and hopefully be able to share the love next time!
The cold smoked salmon is simply quite delicious. The quality and flavour is superb.
