Our Smokehouse Team
It wouldn’t be possible to deliver delicious smoked salmon without the enthusiasm and commitment of our team.
Our Story
The Uig Lodge smokery was established
in 1984 by my father and uncle, Malcolm
and Barry Green. They had sought advice
from my grandfather, Keith Creswell, who
has been smoking fish in Ireland for many
years. The smokery was soon up and
running and sales increased steadily over
the next 20 years. In 2004 I took on the
running of the smokery and with the help
of Kenny Mackay, Annie Smith and the Uig
team we continued to grow the business.
My wife Elly and I live 100 yards from the
smokery with our young children and we
also manage the lodge and fishing.

Our fresh salmon suppliers
We only use only the finest Scottish Atlantic farmed fish for the smokery. The cool, fast flowing Scottish waters provide an ideal environment for nurturing a lean firm-textured fish which is so crucial for the smoking process.

Situated on the most north westerly point of Scotland!
Our smoked salmon
Uig smoked salmon is made using our traditional family recipe. Each fish is treated individually and even the prevailing weather conditions at the time of smoking are taken into consideration. The fresh salmon are hand cured and then placed into the kiln above smouldering oak chips, allowing the distinct Uig flavour to develop
Superior Taste & Texture
The combination of high quality fresh salmon, a unique family recipe and unrivalled attention to detail results in a smoked salmon that we believe to be one of the finest in Scotland.
