Step into the timeless art of smoking salmon at Petrossian The journey begins with a careful selection process, sourcing the highest quality salmon. Each fillet is chosen with care, embodying the essence of freshness. The first step is dry ageing - a technique, perfected over decades, allows the flavours to intensify and the texture to reach the state of perfection. Then, guided by a traditional family recipe dating back to the 1930s, our artisans infuse each fillet with the gentle embrace of beechwood smoke. From the careful selection of the finest ingredients to the expert execution of time-honored techniques, at Petrossian, every step is carried out with passion and precision.
