Delivery
Please allow up to 3-5 business days for delivery at the moment as everything is being made fresh to order to keep up with demand (June 2022) We make our smoked salmon fresh each week. Most smaller pack sizes (100g and 200g) we hold some stock of and will despatch as quick as possible which is the same for our Taster and Gift packs. 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. If you're not sure, don't hesitate to email info@thepishedfish.com and if you have any special requirements or need to hold delivery until a later date, please state these in the notes section in the cart or at checkout.

Please get in touch with us before ordering and we can advise on the best method for delivery to your area.
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 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 Scottish* salmon from farms with a focus on responsible farming. We use wild salmon by special order only, please sign up to our emails to hear when this is possible.
*Occasionally due to weather conditions Scottish salmon may not be available, in which case we use the best quality farmed Atlantic salmon available.
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!
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

Let customers speak for us
After the usual supermarket fare we tried Pished Fish. The 'Pale but Interesting' was noticeably tastier - breakfast served with poached eggs on bubble & squeak. Planning our second purchase now...
On my second order from this wonderful supplier of salmon and treats; it has totally surpassed my expectations and I have added the amazing Gilltong to my meal plan snacks - outstanding produce. Photo is of my salmon brunch. Best smoked salmon I have ever tasted.
The guide is a fab publication, getting all the mouth-watering info on the fish out there, with a numerous twist. Lovely pics of the fish too.Yummy. so far only had the pate and the biltong which were both superb. The rest of the taster pack are in the freezer for now.
This salmon is like nothing I've tasted before. The texture is so soft and not chewy like cheaper salmon you can taste the process. I had mine with a salad and added a few extras. My son is also a huge fan
Ordered an introductory pack as had family visiting - the Designated Driver smoked salmon and the salmon pâté went down a treat. Delicate taste, not over-smoked, beautiful cuts. Working through the other flavours with enthusiasm! We’ll definitely be repeat offenders…
I bought a sample taster set and we couldn’t believe how tasty every pack was. We ate the whole pack in 2 meals between 2 of us and it was absolutely sensational
I am often sceptical when it is said that a product is better than you can get anywhere else.
My wife and I have just tasted the first of our three packs. Oh my goodness, this really is Smoked Salmon on a completely different scale. Absolutely delicious. To make this even greater this company is just about 10 minutes away from us in Polegate.
We are going to be very loyal customers from now on.
THANK YOU, from Tony Weeks and Julie Down!
The best smoked salmon I’ve ever had.
Uncle Sam is very much THE star of the show here! Fabulously sweet and smokey taste. I add an extra drizzle of honey, another drop of bourbon plus a touch of tabasco for my own special recipe
Soft hint of gin , never overpowers & only adds to
The succulent taste !! Second try of my batch &
Another winner !! Managed to
Contain myself this time & actually managed to take a photo before devouring !!
One of my very favourite Pished Fish salmon. The combination of rum, lime, ginger and demerara sugar is just to die for! I decided to to go full fish Monty, including oysters and prawn toast! Nothing beats the salmon though!!
Ordered the wonderful winter platter as an alternative for Valentine’s Day. Husband was WFH that day. I suggested we try a bit for lunch. 2 packs later….whoops! Absolutely delicious will definitely be ordering more.
I have used Pished Fish now for a number of months. There is nothing close in any of the supermarkets. The quality, taste and texture of each of their products is far superior to anything I have tried before and hence a continued repeat customer.
I have a favourite dish of salmon and scrambled eggs on Crumpets and it is sublime with Pished Fish salmon.
The gilltong is very yummy - dense and flavourful and a great accompaniment to the salmon pate on a sourdough cracker from Peter’s Yard!
Ordered the Valentine’s Day Special. It was absolutely spectacular. Erik was the red food of love!! The Classic was a “sweetie” for my gorgeous wife! The G&T was just for me!! I cooked a jacket potato with a knob of butter, some grated mature British cheddar cheese, plus rosemary and thyme! Delicious. Thank you James and the team at Pished Fish. You just keep getting better and better guys!

"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.

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
The pished fish salmon is the most delicious I have eaten and believe me I have eaten a lot of salmon.
I used some over Christmas at a party I catered and it received rave reviews from a discerning crowd.
Thanks Philippa, glad it was so well received. Many thanks for your support. Cheers! James
