✔️ The Best Smoked Salmon you Have Ever Tasted - or your Money Back!
🥃 The Classic (Whisky & Maple Smoked Salmon)
Picture yourself in a cosy Highland lodge, where Scottish tradition meets maple-sweet indulgence. Inspired by the timeless marriage of whisky and smoke, we've created something that would make any Scotsman proud - a classic combination that never goes out of style!
✨ What makes it special:
• Superior, responsibly sourced atlantic salmon (from RSPCA or ASC assured farms, because happy fish = tasty fish)
• Slow-cured in Dead Sea salt and demerara sugar (patience is a virtue!)
• Gently smoked over oak, sophisticated finish
• Infused with premium whisky and pure maple syrup
• Carved in thick, decadent slices
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
• Create a Highland breakfast with buttery scrambled eggs and sourdough
• Layer onto oatcakes with a dollop of cream cheese
• Serve as part of a Scottish-inspired cheeseboard with mature cheddar
💫 Perfect for:
• Traditional gatherings
• Whisky appreciation evenings
• When you want timeless luxury on your table
Each pack contains our signature thick-cut slices (we recommend 50g per person), with a minimum 5 day shelf life (but generally a lot longer). Though, between us, it rarely lasts that long in anyone's fridge!
🌟 Pairs beautifully with:
• A dram of single malt • Fresh sourdough • Cosy evenings by the fire
Ingredients: Atlantic salmon (FISH) salt, Demerara sugar, whisky, maple syrup, oak smoke.
Minimum 5 days shelf life on delivery. Suitable for freezing

For larger sizes (half and whole sides) we will slice these in the week and deliver on the coming Friday (e.g order Tuesday morning, will be with you Friday) If you need it more quickly, please pop us an email (we're very friendly) and we'll do our best to get it out to you sooner, or offer the same weight in smaller pack sizes.

How does my smoked salmon get delivered?
Your order will be packaged in insulated packaging filled with ice packs which are tested to keep the products chilled for up to 48 hours. We use DPD to transport the products on an overnight service, so the product should always arrive chilled as though it had been in a fridge. The insulated packaging is either compostable, re-usable or recyclable.
Do I need to be home when it is delivered?
If you're not home we ask the courier to leave the package either with a neighbour or in a safe place. It is always preferable to have someone around to sign for the delivery though, so an address where someone is available (home or work) would help.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is free when you spend £75+ or below that £5.95 and is applied at checkout, and is based on your cart total after any discounts.
Where is the salmon from?
We source our salmon through Billingsgate fish market, selecting only the freshest Atlantic salmon from farms with a focus on responsible farming and are either RSPCA assured, ASC or Label Rouge certified.
What is the use by date?
All our cold smoked salmon and trout is packaged with a minimum of 23 days shelf life. The only exception is our hot smoked salmon and paté which has a shorter use by date - 14 days. We will never send out any packs of smoked salmon with less than 5 days remaining on its use by date, or pâté with less than 3 days remaining.
Can you freeze it?
Yes, all our products are suitable for freezing. Please freeze on day of arrival.
I have a discount code - where do I use it?
There is a small box in the cart section where you review your order that asks for your discount code. Please enter it here and the discount will be automatically applied.
How much should I buy per person?
We recommend 50g per person as a portion. Really love smoked salmon? Double it!
Do you do wholesale?
Yes indeed - we include some of the finest food-halls in the land as stockists. If you'd like to join them please get in touch here
About Our Fish
We source our fresh Scottish farmed salmon via Billingsgate fish market. Wherever possible we choose RSPCA assured Scottish farms*, with key ambitions to follow responsible farming practices.
The salmon is filleted and then slow cured in our unique blend of Dead Sea salt and demerara sugar. The slow cure firms up the fish and gives the salmon a more meaty texture. It is not greasy or slimy like some other smoked salmon.
We then smoke gently over complementary wood smokes. After smoking, the salmon is rested overnight before being sliced by hand in our little Sussex smokehouse. We choose to slice the salmon in thicker, vertical, more decadent slices. Once our customers have tried it this way they never go back!
*Sometimes this isn't always possible due to weather conditions etc, in which case we choose the next best alternatives

The salmon is the best I have ever tasted!! Its so convenient as I freeze them and each pack can be defrosted in hot water in minutes. It is also very low in calories so a healthy treat. I really enjoy having the Salmon Pate with a cucumber and yoghurt on a bagel. Beautiful salmon and good for me too!
Ordered the teriyaki + honey gilltong and the classic with whisky & maple syrup a couple weeks back! My flatmate and I made a fishboard with it and it was so so so delicious! Absolutely love the soft texture of the the classic and the sticky, jerky-like texture of the gilltong. We also appreciate the subtle smokiness because a lot of smoked fish can get too smoky and overwhelming. Really enjoyed the fish illustrations and the little guide too <3 (we have it displayed on our bookshelf and pasted on our walls). This will definitely become a bimonthly treat for us! #ILOVETHEPISHEDFISH
Fantastic product loved by all my amazing clients.
The best service, oh and the salmon is to die for. I got a starter pack to try. Amazing isn't a good enough word. Delighted with the whole package. Definitely placing another order.....salmon patè yum yum 😋
Just the most delicious, indulgent treat to myself !! A delicious sandwich for my Saturday train trip.
We ordered the starter pack and that is exactly what it is because once you taste the quality it will be the start of a long line of orders! The subtleties of the flavours, the fabulous texture and obvious freshness makes the price feel cheap. It has made us realise what a rip off supermarket smoked salmon is. This is the real deal and worth every penny. We also got a free paté which was absolutely scrumptious, you don’t need anything to enhance its flavours, I could have eaten it straight out the pot!
I was recommended The Pished Fish by a friend and on a crazy whim ordered The Family Feast and I am so glad I did. The most delicious salmon ever, lovey texture, subtle flavouring really super. Giltong is a fab new discovery and the salmon pate is scrumptious. All arrived as promised well packed on time with a lovely welcome letter and a free guide. A super product I will definitely be ordering again.
Have had many different types of smoked salmon, but keep returning to The Pished Fish which is simply the best.
Margherita salmon on a toasted bagel with scrambled eggs and chives, a decadent brunch on a Sunday.
All the best to James and everyone at the Pished Fish.
This is my breakfast, homemade bread, locally sourced eggs, and the star of the show Augustus Gloop.
You’re right, there is no going back now ! Love it and still trying different flavours, lovely thick slices ❤️
The salmon was just superb. It needed nothing added. I could have wolfed down the entire pack in one sitting.
…But never zero! This was a fun and tasty way to have salmon, I love the texture and those tikka flavours were subtle but present. Yes she did get a little snack of it too (yes as a snack it’s completely safe to share… if you can bring yourself to!)
I ordered this as it was something different I wanted to try and it is amazing ! Very different to smoked salmon more firm but such a fun addition to breakfast, if it lasts until then !
Just love this salmon 💕
I have only tried 3 things but they were all lovely.
I had the smoked salmon, the gilltong & the dark & stormy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Best smoked salmon I’ve ever tasted"
"Delicious smoked salmon not thin and salty like supermarket smoked salmon. Love all the flavours I’ve tried so far. Salmon is tender and succulent and the salmon pate is the best I’ve ever tasted! I’ll definitely be buying regularly from this company" Catherine G.
Born from a passion
To Make Tastier Smoked Salmon
Having spent some time working in and around Scandinavia I realised that smoked salmon didn't have to be wafer thin, slimy stuff like what you find in a supermarket. Since 2014 I've been creating smoked salmon that I love to eat myself. Infused with a range of different flavours that complement, but don't over-power the fish. Designed for you to add some pizazz to your pinics or brilliance to your brunches!
Customer Reviews
Yo, buckle up for the Pissed Fish Salmon, The Classic with Whisky & Maple Syrup—because this fish is lit and not just from the booze. This slab of salmon slaps harder than a bar fight, soaked in a whisky-maple glaze that’s sweet, smoky, and just the right kind of wrong. The whisky hits with a rebel yell, cutting through the maple’s sticky-sweet swagger, while the salmon itself is juicy, flaky, and cooked like it’s got something to prove. It’s not some dainty fine-dining nonsense—this is a bold, in-your-face flavor bomb that doesn’t apologize. The glaze caramelizes just enough to give a crispy edge, but don’t expect it to hold your hand; it’s messy, intense, and a little unhinged. Perfect for those who like their food with a side of attitude. Only gripe? The maple can overpower if you’re not ready for its sweet right hook. Pair it with a stiff drink and some grilled veg to keep it real. Pissed Fish doesn’t mess around, and neither should you. Go get some.
… then you must try these products.
I ordered half a side of the Classic and James went the extra mile to make sure it was the right choice for my guests who have particular dietary requirements. The parcel was delivered well in time and I can't say enough good things about the slices in which the fish is presented. Easy to handle, no waste, looks perfect on a platter. Every bite was delicious. Will definitely order again.
All are absolutely amazing quality and flavour
Excellent quality salmon with lovely flavouring
