Great with fish

We know that fire loves oxygen, but it loves a bit of fat too. Salmon, mackerel, trout, sardines and even anchovys are considered oily fish due to being packed with Omega-3s! A few moments on the grill will create those crispy, finger-licking, concentrated flavours you can't get enough of.

Tip: Lightly brush the fish with oil on both sides to prevent it from drying out and sticking to the grill. Place the fish on the grill, skin side down, and cook for a few minutes without moving it. This helps to create those sexy grill marks and prevents sticking. Oily fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, which can make them dry.

  • English Oak

    English Oak

    Norfolk Charcoal
    Another new charcoal alert!!! A wonderfully dense British charcoal that is suited perfectly for low and slow and cooking 'dirty' directly on the coals. Many people are surprised with the subtlety in flavour of oak charcoal expecting big flavours, but bear in mind this is charcoal and not wood - so it delivers a lovely mild flavour and not overpowering. If you want more punch, add our British grown and made oak smoking chunks. This is a wonderful charcoal and every cook will be one to remember!

    Whittle & Flame
    Made by our great friends from Whittle and Flame from their new home in North Devon, Smoking chunks are an essential flavour enhancer to your barbecue - but choose carefully. Apple chunks will deliver a fruity, mild sweet infusion which adds a delicious level of flavour, ideal for poultry and pork. The smoke is delicate and light and also subtle enough for fish and vegetables - a lovely smoked addition.

  • Alder Chunks

    Alder Chunks

    Whittle & Flame
    Made by our great friends from Whittle and Flame from their new home in North Devon, smoking chunks are an essential flavour enhancer to your barbecue - but pair with your food carefully. Alder is traditionally used for smoking salmon as it delivers a mild, sweet and earthy flavour. We recommend it is best paired with the more delicate proteins like fish or chicken or thinner cuts of pork. Not best suited to add smoke to more powerful rubs and marinades given its subtlety, so use Oak or Cherry if you need something with more punch.
