Our first recipe is an easy one.  Asparagus is in season now so make this while you can.

You can use cold smoke salmon or gravadlax. 

Cook your asparagus making sure it still has a nice crunch to it.

Boil some eggs by gently lowering required number of eggs into a saucepan of simmering water.  Adjust heat to maintain water at a simmering point.  Simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Wrap sliced salmon around the asparagus, crack open the top of the egg and serve with your favourite toasted bread.

Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Hi everyone, just in time for Christmas, we are launching our new website, with a fresh look and a great range of products that you can also find at our Smokehouse and Store, just off Allandale Road near Fairlie.

We now have a new blog - where we will let you know about upcoming events, share extra special recipes and techniques for preparing and eating of our smoked products; and you can see which markets and events we will be at throughout the year.

You will also see that we are still using an order form as before. It might suit other business to have an online store, but the order form works better because we don't have a 'one-size-fits-all' for our boutique products. Our products are very special and every order is tailored to each purchaser. We still contact each customer, ensuring that each and every one of you receive extra special service to go alongside our extra special products.

When you visit our store you'll also find it's had a major overhaul and we have a larger deli section and we also stock a larger range of condiments and groceries, which we will continue to add to as we find out what it is that you really want.
