✔️ The Best Smoked Salmon you Have Ever Tasted - or your Money Back!
🇫🇷 Little Cousin François (Pernod and fennel Smoked trout)
Picture yourself in a sun-drenched café in Marseille, where the gentle clink of pastis glasses mingles with Mediterranean charm. Inspired by long, lazy afternoons in the South of France, we've created something that would make any Provençal proud - a taste of the French Riviera in every slice!
✨ What makes it special:
• Superior, responsibly sourced sea trout (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 apple and alder woods for a subtle, sophisticated finish
• Infused with Pernod and fennel for that authentic French touch
• Carved in a classic d-cut style
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
• Create a Provençal platter with black olives, fresh baguette and cornichons
• Layer onto crusty bread with salted butter
• Serve as part of a Mediterranean feast with fennel salad
💫 Perfect for:
• Al fresco dining
• Mediterranean-inspired gatherings
• When you want to bring some French flair to 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 chilled glass of pastis • Fresh crusty baguette • Sun-drenched afternoons
Ingredients: Scottish Trout (FISH) salt, Demerara sugar, Pernod, fennel seed, oak smoke
Minimum 5 days shelf life on delivery. Suitable for freezing

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.

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

What a superb selection of quality booze infused smoked salmon,this particular one has been infused with tequila ,coriander,chilli and lime zest,absolutely delicious but not overpowering 😋😋😋👌, The smocked salmon pate is too die for, because it’s so tasty 😋, as soon as I open the lid it’s gone 😄
Ordered the whiskey and horseradish salmon pate for Easter. Fantastic taste and didn’t last long once my husband discovered it. Will certainly order again.
Just had a lunchtime bagel with some smoked salmon pate from The Pished Fish. Just a squeeze of lemon and some salad leaves. Heaven. Great food. Do yourself a favour and try it.
Love the way this smoked salmon fluffs up and adds great flavour to this Crustless quiche packed with added vegetables - asparagus, cauliflower, with a base of celery and leeks.
This is a cracking product, the depth of flavour, degree of cure/smoke is perfect and thickness of slice is just right to appreciate the texture.
I’ve worked in the smoked salmon industry and standards are slipping as it becomes an every day supermarket commodity.
This is in a different class and oozes quality, we love it! Thank you for taking time to get it right.
Perfect with Irish wheaten bread and a Guinness or a Chablis.
My first ever order the starter pack with smoked salmon pate👌 I loved the thick cut smoked salmon which was absolutely delicious and very interesting flavours but not overpowering. I have to say that the smoked salmon pate was to die for 😋😋😋
Received as requested nicely chilled and wrapped, we had 14+ guests at our Emerald wedding anniversary and the salmon was very well received with lots of compliments. I kept the pate to myself and it was simply wonderful, it was not laid out and displayed as I would have liked, but simple and easy to serve.
No pic of gilltong as it didn't get further than a foot from the fridge door. I opened the pack, tried a piece and filled my face with it till it was gone, it was luscious! . I stashed the 2nd pack at the back of the fridge as I wasnt going to share it, "it's mine my precious all mine!"
Loved the salmon pate on a rice cracker with homemade Sauerkraut and caraway seed, yummers!! 😋
Absolutely delicious salmon from Pished Fish. Nom nom nom!
My Nonna never wore a Nightcap, and limoncello would have been anathema to her! But I am made of different stuff.
This salmon is very special. It melts on the tongue and is fresh and zingy. I served it with a salad of chopped lettuce, cucumber and golden kiwi, dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Perfect!
Sent a taster pack to my Mother for Mother’s Day as a more practical and delicious gift compared to my usual flowers. She really loved it! She sent me pictures of her culinary creations including this lovely looking pasta!
Such a good plate! See picture!
Paddington Smoked Trout, Eric the Red and Pate! All excellent!
Saw them on FB one day and was in the mood to try some. It looked good in the pictures and when it came V Quickly and beautifully packed, I was delighted. So far I have ordered twice and recommended many times. Happy to wax lyrical about this. The picture is on crackers with cottage cream and dill sauce. Yummy. Thanks Mr Pished.
Best smoked salmon I’ve ever eaten , top quality fish and smoking !! Lovely subtle flavours
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"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
Great service and really tasty.
Well packaged to ensure freshness. Fast delivery. Great follow up communication. The trout is delicious, subtly flavoured and the texture is just right after having been frozen and defrosted. I recommend the trout.
Repeat purchase. So good!
Thanks for coming back!
