# Spink Alex & Sons – Dundee

Spink Alex & Sons is a specialist Scottish fish smoker with over 45 years of heritage in producing authentic Arbroath Smokies. Operating since 1977, the business has built its reputation on traditional smoking methods, using oak-wood fires to cure haddock and other fresh fish according to time-honoured techniques.

The company serves both retail and online customers across Scotland. Their primary customer base includes home cooks and food enthusiasts seeking premium smoked fish products, complemented by those using their recipes to prepare restaurant-quality meals at home. They cater to customers unable to visit their Arbroath premises by offering online ordering with delivery, whilst their physical retail outlets in Blairgowrie and Dundee serve the local Scottish market.

What distinguishes Spink Alex & Sons is their unwavering commitment to traditional production methods in an era of industrial food processing. Rather than adopting modern smoking techniques, they continue using oak-wood fires, maintaining authenticity and flavour that mass-produced alternatives cannot replicate. Their product range extends beyond the signature Arbroath Smokies to include smoked salmon, trout, and hot smoked salmon, providing variety whilst staying true to their smoking expertise.

The business further differentiates itself through customer education, offering a dedicated recipe section to help customers maximise their purchases. This approach positions them not merely as a product supplier, but as a trusted guide for preparing premium Scottish smoked fish.
