about Smokehouse brighthelmston
Our Heritage
Deep-rooted in the sea air and the rhythm of the tides of Brighton beach there is a quiet tradition of woodsmoke and seafood.
Our fish is sourced from local boats whenever we can, simply cured with pure sea salt and then gently smoked over oak, nut or fruitwood. It's simple and honest.
My name is Fraser and for the past 11 years i've helped run the little coffeeshop across from the smokehouse, watching it puff away in all weathers. Over those years I've enjoyed producing the smoked fish and friday specials for the Brighton Smokehouse restaurant, which has been turning out glorious smoked fish for generations, and now I'm proud to carry that torch. Other than a few simple tweaks to original smokehouse, to help us refine our product, the process is still as old as the sea.
How it works...
We offer hot smoked mackerel, whole or filleted, in small batches, made to order. We light the smoker once or twice a week and what comes out is available on a first come, first served basis. Pick-up slots are set to match our smoking days, with collection in the early morning before 8am or between 5 and 6 in the evening. Local delivery is also available on those same days. That's it - no waste, no stockpile, just good fish when it's ready.
As the Wind Blows
No two smokes are alike, the shifting wind, the gnarly wood, that days catch and the brightness of the fire all leave their mark. Each fish takes the smoke differently. The process is slow, seasonal, shaped by the weather and instinct. It's not about control - it's about care.
