Lambton & Jackson

Lambton & Jackson In early 2014 Darcy Lambton and Sean Jackson used their passion for quality smoked seafood to create their own company. So we do not smoke any edible in sight.

Lambton & Jackson is the luxury Maldon-based smokehouse famous for its unrivalled range of smoked salmon, gravlax, smoked eel, smoked trout, smoked pates, smoked mackerel, kippers, smoked haddock and smoked cheeses. Their dreams stemmed from one simple fact. Sean Jackson is recognised as one of the country’s outstanding talents in the art of smoking seafood. Ever since leaving school Sean has toil

ed tirelessly at his craft serving chefs across the land. It explains why our smoked products already feature on top menus in London and East Anglia. Our customers include Michelin-starred restaurants as well as famous hotels and clubs. Now we want to bring those same products into your home kitchen. For us the pursuit of perfection is seldom advanced by thinly spreading your expertise. Chickens, ducks and alike we leave to others. Instead we play to our strengths purely concentrating on salmon and eel. We are no mass producer supplying supermarkets nationwide. As genuine artisans that goes against our aim of making the finest smoked salmon and smoked eel on the market. Fittingly, we are located in the historic foodie hub of Maldon, long famous for its sea salt and oysters. Our uniquely cured salmon and eel add to that heritage. So spoil yourself with our smoked delights lovingly made by the very best in the business.

When we say our award-winning smoked salmon is prepared by hand, we literally mean it.

Every side of salmon that comes through our smokehouse is carefully prepared by our skilled team.

There are no shortcuts, just time, patience and years of experience.

It’s this attention to detail at every stage that helped our Maldon Cure Smoked Salmon earn the highest accolade at the Great Taste Awards – ⭐⭐⭐ – for the second time.

In a world of mass production, we’re proud to continue doing things the traditional way.

Did you know the weather can have a real impact on how our smokers perform?

Unlike large industrial smokehouses, so much of what we do at Lambton & Jackson is still done by hand.

Our fires are checked every eight hours and often in between to make sure they’re burning exactly as they should using our special blend of oak.

Temperature, humidity and even changes in air pressure can all influence the smoking process, which is why experience, patience and constant attention to detail matter so much.

It’s this dedication to traditional craftsmanship that helps us produce consistently exceptional smoked salmon and one of the reasons our Maldon Cure has just been awarded the highest accolade of 3 Stars at the Great Taste Awards for the second time.

Award-winning quality doesn’t happen by chance.

It’s earned, one smoke at a time.

We have been sitting on this news for weeks. Today we can finally share it.

Our Maldon Cure Smoked Salmon has been awarded three stars at the Great Taste Awards 2026.

Three stars is the highest honour the awards give out. This year more than 15,000 products were entered. Just 1.8% achieved three stars.

This is the second time our Maldon Cure has won three stars, having first done so in 2019.

That’s not luck. That’s craft.

Dry cured by hand. Smoked over the finest oak. Made the same way it always has been, in our smokehouse on the edge of Maldon.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us. This means everything.
