A GREAT TRADITION

Salmon is the oldest gourmet food known to man. Throughout the ages this magnificent 'king' of fish has adorned the table of many a royal feast and banquet. The curing and smoking of salmon are crafts taking years to master and at H.Forman & Son, we take pride in maintaining the excellent traditions of Salmon, so that our Genuine Wild Smoked Scottish Salmon from the River Tay has become justly regarded as the world's finest.

NEARLY A CENTURY OF EXPERTISE

Founded in 1905, the award winning H.Forman & Son is a family business now in its fourth generation and the UK's oldest established salmon curer. Using only the finest specimens and combining this with nearly a century of expertise, we can work to the exacting specifications of the most discerning clientele. By nurturing our clients, H.Forman & Son has grown into the market leader for finest quality Smoked Scottish Salmon, supplying most of London's leading hotels, clubs and gourmet food halls as well as exporting its product to five-star establishments across the globe.

OUR PLANT

Our state-of-the-art plant in East London was expanded in 1999 to meet increased demand for our quality products. The doubling in size of the factory was officially opened by the Minister for Food. The plant is modern and hygienic and meets all the EU regulations for salmon processing.

Being located close to central London ensures our clients receive their products fresh with each day's order. Our smoked salmon is removed from the smokeholes at 4.30 am and by mid morning is in most of London's top kitchens ready for savouring by their diners and guests later that day. We are also excellently located for easy shipment by air across the globe and refrigerated truck into Europe.

SUPERIOR QUALITY

To achieve the finest quality smoked salmon we ensure that only the very best and freshest raw products are used. As well as smoking superior farmed Scottish salmon we are Britain's leading smoker of the Genuine Wild variety, which we process consistently throughout the year.

Our cure is traditional; a mild London Cure which enhances the natural and succulent flavour of the Salmon rather than concealing it as many modern smokers are prone to do. Whilst our techniques have been modernised our traditional cure and original recipe is the same as that brought to Britain by our founder Harris (Aaron) Forman from Eastern Europe at the turn of the century. Our quality is recognised by renowned chefs around the world and we are honoured to be associates of the highly acclaimed Academy of Culinary Arts.
