Discover Our Smoked Salmon Range
Our smoked salmon is sourced from prestigious producers known for their traditional smoking methods and uncompromising quality.
The John Ross Scottish superior smoked salmon is a true classic. Handcrafted and cold smoked over beech and oak chips in traditional Scottish kilns, ideal for slicing onto platters or serving as a luxurious centrepiece.
For something a little more refined, try our Tsar Nikolai Prime smoked salmon fillet. Lightly smoked over beech chippings, it has a buttery texture and delicate flavour, making it a standout option for hors d’oeuvres or gourmet brunches.
Whether you’re looking to buy smoked salmon in whole cuts or ready-to-eat slices, we offer the best smoked salmon online in the UK, all chosen for their authenticity and flavour profile.
Serving & Pairing Ideas
Smoked salmon is endlessly versatile. For a timeless starter, serve it on warm blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprig of dill. It also works beautifully with soft scrambled eggs, avocado toast, or folded into savoury tarts.
For an impressive canapé, try recreating our smoked salmon tart shells with cashew nut pesto from Drogo’s Kitchen. For entertaining, it is ideal when paired with quail’s eggs, caviar alternatives and a crisp sparkling wine.
The depth and elegance of this ingredient also make it a natural addition to seasonal spreads, gifting hampers or gourmet charcuterie boards.

Smoked Salmon FAQs
1. Can You Freeze Smoked Salmon?
Yes, it freezes well. Ensure it’s tightly sealed and consume within three months for the best flavour. Thaw it in the fridge overnight and enjoy it chilled.
2. How Long Does Smoked Salmon Last in the Fridge?
Unopened it typically lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Once opened, consume within 3–5 days for optimum taste and texture.
3. How Do You Serve Smoked Salmon as a Starter?
Try layering it on warm blinis or sourdough toast, topped with crème fraîche, lemon zest and capers. You can also roll slices and plate them with pickled vegetables or soft cheese for a modern twist.
4. Why Is Smoked Salmon So Expensive?
The price reflects its labour-intensive process, high-quality raw material and slow smoking methods. Wild or sustainably farmed salmon, especially from producers like Loch Fyne and John Ross, delivers a rich, premium product that justifies its cost.
