Smoked salmon

Loch Fyne Smoked Salmon ($180 per 250 grams from Oliver's Delicatessen)

'It's considered the finest and appeals to the connoisseur's palate with an oaky, heavy, salty flavour.'

Rudolph Blattler, executive chef, Mandarin Oriental

Loch Fyne Smoked Salmon

'As much as I enjoy other types of smoked salmon - peppered, Thai, tea-smoked and so on - I always come back to the Scottish ones. Loch Fyne is my favourite as it's very mild, finely textured and perfectly balanced between saltiness and smokiness.'

Nellie Lee, food and wine consultant, Oliver's Delicatessen
