Discover Dunkeld Smoked Salmon: Scotland’s Artisan Smokehouse
At Boisdale’s online shop, we proudly present Dunkeld Smoked Salmon, a family-run Scottish smokehouse renowned for producing wild and superior farmed salmon. Located near the banks of the River Tay in the historic village of Dunkeld, Perthshire, this artisan smokehouse has perfected the art of smoking over the past 40 years, crafting salmon with exceptional flavour and texture.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Dunkeld Smoked Salmon began by smoking anglers’ own fish, and over the decades, master smoker Ronnie has honed the techniques that give their salmon its signature taste. Each fish is individually cured by hand in small batches before being slowly smoked in kilns over whisky barrel chips and oak dust, resulting in a delicately balanced, richly flavoured product. Their commitment to quality, ethical sourcing and sustainability has earned Dunkeld recognition both nationally and internationally, with their salmon even served to the Queen.
The Smokehouse and Ingredients
Using only the finest wild and Scottish farmed salmon, Dunkeld Smoked Salmon combines traditional techniques with careful attention to detail. The smokehouse specialises in a small, expertly curated range of cold- and hot-smoked salmon, ensuring every piece is of the highest quality. This meticulous process has earned them multiple Gold Awards at the Great Taste Awards for Fine Food Retailers, reflecting their dedication to quality over quantity.
