After visiting Charleton Fruit Farm, we made our way to Montrose followed by Arbroath. When in Arbroath, one must get smokies to eat/bring home. The Arbroath smokie is a specialty here; it is made using haddock (gutted and head removed) which is first salted, dried and then hot smoked whole with its backbone intact.
As the fish are hot smoked, they're ready to eat and does not require any further cooking. We took it home and then simply placed it under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes to heat it up. I served it with some garden peas and new potatoes, with some pancetta for extra flavour. Simple and good!
We got our smokies from this shop in Arbroath - Stuart's Fresh Fish
