Northern Gannets are the largest sea birds in the North Atlantic, they have a wingspan of up to 2 metres. Shovelers are surface feeding ducks. The females are mottled brown and the males have dark green heads, a white chest and chestnut flanks. In flight they show patches of light blue and green on their wings.

WELCOME TO THE 

HEBRIDEAN SMOKEHOUSE WEBSITE

THE HOME OF THE BEST

SCOTTISH SMOKED SALMON

AND SHELLFISH.

Prue Leith, "the best in the world".

 

 

 

Hebridean Smokehouse is located on the Isle of North Uist - part of the Outer Hebridean archipelago west of the Scottish mainland. The pristine clean waters that surround our shores support all the salmon and sea trout we use to make our special peat and beechwood smoked products and the small local inshore fishing fleet land the very best scallops for us to smoke with locally-cut peat.

 

We have been smoking locally reared and landed fish and shellfish here on North Uist for nearly 30 years. It is the combination of excellent fish and the skills of our expert team that has earned Hebridean Smokehouse a reputation for producing the very best smoked salmon.
