Irish smoked salmon is something of a connoisseur alternative to the stuff that comes from Scotland or Scandinavia but stocks of wild salmon of the Irish coast are so depleted that environmentally minded smokeries are taking it off their lists until numbers recover. Until then, a side of the very next best thing, Ummera's organically farmed smoked salmon from Clare Island in County Mayo, will go down a treat with rye bread and some champagne on Christmas morning. 1.3kg €52.50 plus delivery.
