| Uig Lodge Smoked Salmon is produced from the
most remote location in Scotland. Uig Lodge is set in a superb
position overlooking the magnificent white sands of Uig bay, on
the west coast of Lewis, the largest of the Outer Hebridean islands.
Built in 1876 by Sir James Matheson, the Lodge was later purchased
by Lord Leverhulme who gave it as a wedding present to his niece.
It stands amidst blue sea, white sand, mountains and lochs.
Uig has long been renowned for the quality of its fly fishing
and was a favourite haven for celebrated author Arthur Ransome.
However, in recent years Uig has developed an enviable reputation
for producing some of the finest smoked salmon in the British
Isles. This small family run business is rapidly expanding to
satisfy increasing popular demand for top quality food.
The
pure, cool, fast flowing waters of the North Atlantic provide
an ideal environment for the nurturing of firm fleshed, lean
fish and Uig is careful to select only the very finest for
the smokehouse. The oak smoking process is done entirely
by hand and takes at least two days. Each fish is treated
individually and even the prevailing weather conditions at

the
time of the smoke are taken into consideration. As a result
of this process
the delicious
smokey taste and succulent, mouth watering texture is a unique
find in this day and age. This is largely due to the skill, dedication
and vast experience of Kenny Mackay who manages the Smokery.
He will not divulge the intricacies of his recipe but emphasises
that ‘simplicity’ is the key!
Uig
supplies a number of luxury food establishments, including ‘Rules’, London’s
oldest restaurant. In addition, the smokery caters for an ever
increasing list of private mail order customers. Their satisfaction
and customer loyalty is testament to the quality of the Uig
setup. Smoked salmon has long been an extravagance enjoyed
at Christmas;
it is a luxury synonymous with parties, entertaining and celebration. Why not spoil your readers with a story and an opportunity to
