Our
Orkney Island Organic Salmon has excellent flavour, we sell it fresh
and both hot and cold smoked. Hot smoked, the salmon is cooked in
the process and makes a delicious meal with a salad of your choice.

Smoked Haddock - Fresh Cornish Haddocks, lightly smoked, no dyes,
no colour added.
Fish
Cakes - Our four varieties are all hand made on the premisis, and
are delicious, a meal in themselves! They are ready cooked so they
only need to be heated up.

not to dry the product. An absolute delight!

Buying
and Cooking Fish
Fish
types can be divided according to their oil content in 'white fish'
(such as Sole, Cod, Hake and Bream), 'oily fish' (such as Salmon,
Mackerel, Trout and Herring) and Shellfish (such a crab, lobster,
prawns and mussels).
When
shopping for fish, always make sure the produce is absolutely fresh.
Fresh fish can be recognised by its firm, even-textured flesh, clear
full and shiny eyes, bright red gills and a clean sea smell. The
meat should have firm, closely packed flakes; any that have a fibrous
or watery appearance are stale, as are fish whose flesh has a blue/green
tinge.
When
preparing fish, there are four basic cuts.
| Fillets
- Round fillets from a fish such as Cod tend to be long and
thick |
| Fillets
- Flat fish fillets such as Sole are wide and thin |
| Steaks
are cut from round fish and is taken from between the middle
of the body and the tail. |
| Cutlets
come from between the head and the middle of the body. |
