Arbroath Smokies - Bygones, part 2

Second half of an old ATV episode of Bygones reporting on the history and making of Arbroath (Auchmithie) Smokies

What is he talking about , bloaters having a similarity to smokies, no way . Great clip which brought back happy memories of my younger years living in Scotland. The smokie stands out alone on flavour among all smoke fish. I bought a pair the other day which found their way down this part of the country (Essex) but I believe they had been frozen, susequently lacked the texture and flavour. I will return one day and sample the delights of a fresh smokie.

Never heard of a bloater before. But it looked like he was eating that smokie cold.

Quite right, my mistake - It was Anglia Television with the rotating silver knight figure, not ATV (Associated TeleVision).

It's Anglia Television Not to be confused with ATV the midlands ITV Contractor. It was Anglia who produced Bygones as Anglia TV wasn't refered as ATV thanks!

Weird Norfolk bloke, what can you say? We are back to Auchmithie in September for a meet up of descendants so will definitely take in an authentic smokie as opposed to the Northants version I do in the barbecue!
