Christmas

Christmas is when smoked salmon comes into its own. The Christmas Eve canapé spread. The big-platter centrepiece. The build-the-night-before pinwheels that hold up through the afternoon. Our Christmas recipes are the ones we’ve been making in Howth for years: classics done properly, with the prep done well in advance so the cook is in the room and not in the kitchen. Each recipe lists exactly which of our smoked salmon cuts to use and when to start preparing. Order your salmon by mid-December to be sure of stock.
