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.

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

It was delicious with capers and finely sliced spring onion, ground black pepper a squeeze of lemon juice and brown bread and butter.
Ilove this smoked salmon, it's just delicious, the salmon pate is gorgeous and we also very much like the cured salmon, a very different taste. The packaging is clever and the wool blanket is great for picnics.
I love experimenting with foodie ideas and concoctions made up on the spur of the moment and this is what happens each time I open a pack of Pished Fish smoked salmon!! I’m not keen on complicated or elaborate so my dishes tend to be simple but, by using this delicious fish, the results are guaranteed to be mouth-wateringly fabulous!! I will post a couple of my meals on FB with photos of you like? Some people may not like my combinations but beauty is in the mouth of the eater😎🙄
Only 2 words needed "the best"
Only half way through the full Monty but I’ve been loving it so far. Really thick slices of salmon with interesting yet subtle flavours. Can’t get enough!
Having tried all different types and brands of smoked salmon over the years, I was keen to sample the The Pished Fish after seeing an ad on Facebook. I ordered a random pack of 3 which arrived very promptly the next day.
The salmon is absolutely delicious. Both the taste and texture are far superior to anything I’ve had before. I love the way the salmon is cut slightly thicker than your average supermarket offering and it’s really silky smooth and easy to handle (no bits stuck together in the plastic!)
Perfect in a bagel with cream cheese, capers, red onion and a squeeze of lemon!
Highly recommend.
I’m so impressed and will certainly be placing another order.
We are hooked and are telling everyone about The Pished salmon. Simply the best! Thank you
First time trying, I have been craving this smoked salmon since seeing an advert. It definitely lived up to expectations, excellent flavour and texture and a million miles away from anything I have ever tried before. I will never buy from a supermarket again! Salmon and avocado tartare with pea shoots and edamame.
I make a super fresh and healthy salad for lunch most days.
Twice a week, I want to top it with smoked salmon to get my Omega 3 hit for the week.
Having tried various online premium brands and supermarket offerings: I chose Pished Fish.
It has so many varieties to keep my palate excited, it's convenient, and just the right portion size.
As a family we enjoy smoked salmon on a regular basis but I was becoming quite tired of the tasteless fayre served up by the supermarket’s. I had followed the “pished fish” for some time and after the last thin tasteless offering I decided to place my first order - certainly have not regretted it. Fast delivery and a great reminder of what smoked salmon should taste like. The Pate and Gilltong were excellent as well. So I’ll be back for more on a regular basis! Thank you!
Perfect thick slices of salmon !
Tasty, chunky, unique flavours, simply the best! Just look at my plate.
The fish is cut slightly thicker than others c which means that it never borders on being a bit slimy - the appearance, texture and taste is wonderful - ideal with scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning with 4 friends
Having tried a variety of flavours, we can confidently say this is the best smoked salmon. Love that it can be frozen - perfect for an upgraded weekend brunch! Other smoked salmon has never been the same since we tried pished fish!
Very tasty selection
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"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
