Our Smokehouse Team
It wouldn’t be possible to deliver delicious smoked salmon without the enthusiasm and commitment of our team, past and present
Our Story and business update November 2026
The Uig smokery was established
in 1984 by my father and uncle, Malcolm
and Barry Green. They had sought advice
from my grandfather, Keith Creswell, who
had been smoking fish in Ireland for many
years. The smokery was soon up and
running and sales increased steadily over
the next 20 years. In 2004 I took on
the running of the smokery and with the
help of the Uig team we continued to grow
the business. In 2026 we sold Uig Lodge
which brought an end to more than 45
years of the Green family’s involvement
at the lodge. However, we retained Uig
Sands Restaurant & Rooms as well as
the smoked salmon business and we are
delighted to be able to continue offering
our smoked salmon from Uig Sands.

Our fresh salmon suppliers
We only use only the finest Scottish Atlantic farmed fish for the smokery. The cool, fast flowing Scottish waters provide an ideal environment for nurturing a lean firm-textured fish which is so crucial for the smoking process.

Situated on the most north westerly point of Scotland!
Our smoked salmon
Uig smoked salmon is made using our traditional family recipe. Each fish is treated individually and even the prevailing weather conditions at the time of smoking are taken into consideration. The fresh salmon are hand cured and then placed into the kiln above smouldering oak chips, allowing the distinct Uig flavour to develop
Superior Taste & Texture
The combination of high quality fresh salmon, a unique family recipe and unrivalled attention to detail results in a smoked salmon that we believe to be one of the finest in Scotland.
