Love at First Bite: A Valentine’s Day to Savour

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about sharing something special. A moment. A flavour. A meal that lingers long after the plates are cleared. This year, we believe the most romantic thing you can give is something truly delicious.

At Black Mountains Smokery, everything we make is about patience, craft, and care, qualities that happen to pair perfectly with love.

Because the Best Gifts Are Meant to Be Shared

Flowers fade. Chocolates disappear (quickly). But a beautifully smoked salmon, or a cold smoked trout? That’s an experience!

Whether you’re planning a candle-lit dinner for two, a relaxed sharing board, or a cosy night in, our traditionally smoked fish brings depth and indulgence without fuss. Rich, silky textures. Gentle smoke. Clean, natural flavours. No rush, just enjoyment.

It’s food that invites you to slow down together.

A Valentine’s Table, Made Simple

You don’t need a restaurant reservation to create something memorable. Here are a few effortless ways to let our smoked fish take centre stage:

• The Sharing Board
  Smoked salmon or trout, crusty bread, butter, lemon, capers, and a glass of something crisp. Add candles and you’re done.

• Breakfast in Bed (or Brunch at Home)
  Smoked salmon with softly scrambled eggs, fresh herbs, and warm sourdough—simple, luxurious, and always appreciated.

• A Light but Luxurious Supper
  Flake hot smoked trout through a warm potato salad or serve alongside seasonal greens and a sharp dressing.

Sometimes the most romantic meals are the least complicated.

Crafted with Care, Just Like Your Valentine

We’ve always believed that great food starts with respect for the ingredients, the process, and the people you’re feeding. Our fish is responsibly sourced and traditionally smoked in small batches, using time-honoured methods that allow flavour to develop naturally.

It’s not rushed. It’s not overdone. And it’s made to be enjoyed properly.

Which feels pretty fitting for Valentine’s Day.

This Valentine’s Day, Say It with Smoke

Whether you’re celebrating new love, long love, or simply good food and good company, choose something that feels thoughtful and indulgent without being over the top.

Because nothing says I care quite like sharing something exceptional.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Black Mountains Smokery ❤️
