has anyone else noticed how bad the quality of readily available supermarket salmon is?
even the finest ranges seems to be no better than end cuts and rubbery lumps.....what happened to wafer thin slices you could see through and that actually tasted of something special?

any reccommendations of more excusive brands?

How about Forman and Field?

£114.50 for a side of wild salmon seems pretty exclusive to me.

The best smoked salmon I have had is from Loch Duart and can be bought by mail order www.dunkeldsmokedsalmon.com

i might give the salmon collection at £37.95 a go first

The wife loves it but I can't stand the stuff, prefer a tin of John West any day!

chris, i've honestly never tasted the tinned stuff!

Really? Smoked salmon just doesn't appeal to me. I can eat it but much prefer fresh salmon grilled or tinned red salmon.

Same here, tinned for me all the way...yummy ! chilled salmon and cucumber sandwiches on a hot day.....schlurp!.

However, for salmon lovers, the produce fresh from Scotland can also be purchased from Loch Fyne

How it compares with Dunkeld I couldn't answer unfortunately.

hey giglo,
hope yer well!
i was brought up not far from loch fyne....even thats not what it used to be, and i've banned myself from their eateries after a particularly bad experience in oxford!!

Hell mend you...when you go to Rome,do as the Romans do. You want fresh Scottish salmon, Scotland's the place!

I'm hungry again..... thinking of hot buttered toast with salmon with a nice hot cuppa..... slight flaw in plan as I have neither bread or salmon!

Hot Smoked Salmon, now there's a completely different taste and product, try it if you don't like normal Smoked Salmon.
