Introduction
Arbroath Smokies are a Scottish delicacy originating from the small fishing town of Arbroath. These are whole haddocks that have been hot-smoked over a traditional hardwood fire, giving them a distinctive flavor and a golden-brown color. Arbroath Smokies are often enjoyed simply with a squeeze of lemon, a pat of butter, and some fresh bread.
