Discover Alfred Enderby's Traditional Smoked Fish


Indulge in the exquisite taste of award-winning smoked salmon and haddock, delivered straight to your door, from the illustrious Alfred Enderby in Grimsby.

At the heart of Grimsby’s rich maritime heritage stands a smokehouse, where traditional smoking methods have been refined over the last 100 years.

The ornate iron cowls at the smokehouse give the smoked fish its unique flavour, crafted from the layers of tar that have lovingly built up within the historic brick walls.
Renowned chefs like Marco Pierre White have hailed Alfred Enderby’s smoked salmon as a culinary delight. On Channel 5’s Winter On The Farm, Cannon Hall Farm’s Head Chef Timothy Bilton visited the Grimsby smokehouse and praised the “best smoked salmon I’ve ever tasted”.

The smoked fish is very highly regarded and is recognised as a delicacy worthy of PGI Certification – Lincolnshire’s only protected food name. PGI Certification protects and celebrates traditional regional foods.

Its traditional Grimsby smoked salmon and haddock is distributed and enjoyed across the world, including to well established businesses, reputable chefs, and local restaurants and hotels like Healing Manor Hotel.

At Alfred Enderby, they let their fish shine. Unlike standard smokehouses that smoke for eight hours, Alfred Enderby extends that time to at least 12 (usually 16) hours to achieve sublime, smoky richness.

So, why wait? Get the award-winning smoked fish delivered straight to your door by ordering online, or visit the smokehouse, and transform your meals into gourmet experiences.

And that’s not all! Step inside and experience the magic of the traditional smokehouse, and embrace the smell of warm woodchip smoke, for yourself.

Current owner Patrick Salmon will take you on a tour and show how the fish is smoked for added depth of flavour. Book your tour with Patrick today and witness the magic firsthand, and even enjoy a short tasting session.

In 2016, Patrick seized the incredible opportunity to take the reins of Alfred Enderby Ltd from Richard Enderby, who called time on his 42-year career. He continues to make the local firm a champion of sustainability, as they prioritise eco-friendly practices and meaningful partnerships with suppliers.

Alfred Enderby Ltd has also won multiple accolades, including two Great Taste Awards from the Guild of Fine Food. It also featured as one of The Times’ top 50 recommended food products of 2020.

For something a bit different, their converted “Ro-Ro” the fishing boat is fully equipped as a catering trailer or simply used as a bar. With a menu of award-winning smoked fish or a champagne bar with smoked salmon canape, it is ideal for anything from weddings, parties and festivals.
