Smoking meat and fish is a method of preparing meat and fish which originates in prehistory to preserve these protein-rich foods for long periods.
Nowadays smoking is more about adding flavour and, much like cooking, the art is finding the right balance between the smoke, salt, and meat flavours whereby no one part overpowers the others.
Upton Smokery is the only smokery in the UK to only sell Atlantic salmon and Arctic char from fully sustainable land-based aquaculture. It also sells a fantastic range of cheese, wine, and barbeque products as well as Cotswold starflower and wildflower honey. (Open seven days.)
