Quotes

An Extract from The Bridgestone Irish Food Guide 1994

"Ummera smoked salmon is so good, so true in flavour, so sybaritic and satisfying that the first day you eat a slice is assuredly one of the best days of your life."

An Extract from Country Living Magazine, U.K.

"THE WILD IRISH. Ummera ..... is not just another supplier of smoked salmon. What makes it special is that it offers WILD Salmon and there is no mistaking the difference in taste and texture between wild and farmed."

An Extract from The Bridgestone Irish Food Guide 1996

"Ummera smoked salmon is one of the great West Cork foods. Somehow, they manage to impart a mellifluousness to the fish, so that the taste is ever graceful, subtle, suggestive of smoke rather than strong-armed and, consequently, overpowered by it.

This balance and sympathy may be explained by the fact that Ummera use wild salmon, so the extra muscle and denser texture of the fish tends to prove more accommodating to the smoking process.

But it is also true that they are particularly expert, particularly gifted at the business of smoking fish, so all Ummera salmon has the graciousness and sophistication of flavour that we associate with the great foods - caviar, foie gras, oysters, truffles.

Indeed, like these special foods, Ummera salmon has a narcotic, elemental property which speaks strongly of its own nature, its own habitat from which it emerges to be caught.

It is a mighty food, and it demands the great wines of the world to truly do it justice. Ummera also smoke some chicken, an invaluable food for summer salads, and some fine silver eel.

Do note that Ummera operate a particulary efficient mail-order service, and are capable of getting fish to almost anywhere in the world in a matter of days." John and Sally McKenna
