“Sun Sea and Smoke”
"Scottish West Highland gourmet smoker and self confessed culinary pyromaniac, Simon Macdonald is spreading his wings and opening a brand new bespoke smokehouse with co director, John Ketley, at Armacao de Pera on the Algarve. Trading as “Fumeiro do Algarve”, Simon and John, who already lives in Portugal, will be supplying initially the Portuguese market with a range of products including Salmon, Sardines, Swordfish and a variety of local cheeses.
The business will be the only smokehouse in Portugal smoking fish and the only one on the Iberian peninsular smoking cheese.
“We are really excited about the new venture” says Simon, “We have found a huge very wealthy market, especially on the Algarve, and have an extremely healthy advance order book.”
For over twenty one years, Simon has smoked food traditionally- everything from Alligator to Zebra and Anchovy to Zander as well as his famous Lochaber Smoked Cheese from his Internationally acclaimed smokehouse based in the romantic West Highland village of Glenuig. Along the way, he has built up an impressive portfolio of clients including, Concorde, QE2 and QM2 plus many “A” list celebrities and more than one Royal household. He has featured on many television and radio programs exhorting his passion for smoked foods and cooking. In addition, Simon has become a highly respected consultant in the food smoking world and travels extensively advising individuals and companies on the subject. He has also become well known for his food smoking courses, run from his smokehouse in Scotland.
The new venture in Portugal will see Simon commuting on a regular basis between Glenuig and Armacao de Pera on the Algarve.
Co director, John Ketley already lives in Portugal and has built up an enviable reputation in the catering and restaurant industry for over thirty years. Along the way, John has collected a clutch of prestigious food awards and featured in the press and on radio. He has an enormous enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge in food and drink. Together, Simon and John are set to blaze a trail in the sun and literally watch their profits go up in smoke."
