The Beginning
How did it all start?
​
The initial inspiration came from Alex and Emily, who were disappointed by the loss of their Christmas Eve treat when their fishmonger moved to London.
'You have a chef background dad. Can you make us our Christmas salmon?'
​
My grandmother always said that if you want to learn then you should find the best person to help you; and this came in the form of Mark Hix. As I was waiting for the fluid to be drained from my injured ear, during a Krav Maga lesson, I emailed Mark. Within the hour this celebrated chef had invited me to his restaurant in Selfridges for the day.
The smoking was carried out on the roof of this London landmark. There I was taught the processes and techniques by Martin Sweeney, who I am still in contact with. It was then my responsibility to create my version of their iconic product. I will be forever grateful to both Mark Hix and Martin Sweeney for their generosity and kindness in sharing their knowledge.

This was the beginning of our story.
