Lance Forman’s East End smokehouse is at loggerheads with the only other supplier to share its protected status
There are only two smokehouses with the right to sell London Cure smoked salmon and they are less than two miles away from each other.
In one corner of east London, tucked in an archway just off London Fields, is the relative newcomer Secret Smokehouse, which was originally started in founder Max Bergius’s shed. And in another, next to the Olympic Park in Fish Island, is the established titan,H Forman & Son,run by former Brexit party MEP Lance Forman. His family business has been producing smoked salmon in the East End for 116 years and claims to be the last of the original smokehouses.
