We received a visit last week from a government minister announcing more support for uk food producers trying to get a foothold in the export market. Some great footage of our smokery and an interview with Mr Forman included.
BBC News visited us today to talk about the role food exports can play in boosting the economy. If only London Cure Smoked Salmon could be as well known as Parma Ham or Scotch Whisky… one day!
Great footage of our smokery covering almost the whole process – traditional hand slicing skills, salt and oak smoke.
We love this website. The wonderful Roy Ackerman visits Restaurants, Hotels, Chefs and Food Producers to interviews, taste and test. The filming is stunning and covers some of the true greats of the food scene – Raymond Blanc, Brian Turner, Theo Randall, Giorgio Locatelli, Mark Hix, Anton Mosimann, Michel Roux, Richard Shepherd, Rick Stein, Catherine Parisot… and many more.
In the latest episode he visits Forman’s to talk to Lance about our smoked salmon and his family company’s history. Our world record smoked salmon slicer Darren demonstrates his skills – yet again, we can’t keep a good man down! – and Forman’s Restaurant Chef Mike Smith demonstrates how to produce his tian of Salmon with Orange, Lemon and Keta.

Interest in the new Olympic stadium and the transformation of our little corner of east London has reached French eco TV channel ‘Ushaia’. They dispatched a film crew to take a look at the developing Olympic park, including a visit to our famous Forman’s Fish Island smokery next door.
Give yourself a little French refresher course watching the clip below. Our smokery and an interview with owner Lance Forman features from around 4 minutes 20
We’ve just been sent this lovely video of the Kids and Families activities that took place over the Hackney Wicked Arts Festival weekend on Fish Island back in June. Can’t wait for next year…
