Salmon Carving Masterclass

According to Lance Forman, “Carving your own side of smoked salmon is the best way to enjoy it; it’s a skill and a therapy rolled into one, great fun too and the best way to impress friends and family at your next dinner party or simply Sunday morning breakfast.  Anyone can do it!”

Our masterclasses are led by our Guinness World Record holder, Darren Matson and are the perfect treat for the smoked salmon lover in your life.  Book either as an upgrade to our popular Smokehouse Tour or as a luxury experience in its own right. You may also send a voucher to someone, so that they may organise a masterclass whenever is convenient for them, which makes for a fantastic gift. Please note masterclass spaces on public tour days do fill up very quickly.

Your session will include the following:

• A boutique hour-long masterclass where you will be trained how to carve smoked salmon.
• The side of smoked salmon that you have carved at the demonstration – packed into sizes of your choosing.
• A beautiful hardwood salmon carving board; a specialist Granton smoked salmon knife and a pair of expert stainless salmon boning tweezers. When booking for two you will receive one carving board, knife and tweezers to share.

• Available Monday – Friday, please note that masterclasses are not available during the month of December. Maximum three people per class.

Don’t just take out words for it, here are some comments we’ve received from previous Masterclasses:

“Thanks to Forman’s and, in particular, Darren Matson, for making our salmon carving masterclass such a wonderful experience.  It was very interesting to be given some of the background to the business and to be shown around the premises which are very impressive.  Darren’s friendly personality and great sense of humour (and obvious skill) made for a fantastic day!”

“I just wanted to thank Darren for a splendid tour and carving masterclass today. It was a day that exceeded all of my expectations. A real hands on and close up experience of some of the finest smoked salmon available.  Simply brilliant.”
