Where it comes from
People smoked fish to keep it long before fridges, but London's smoked salmon came with Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland in the late 1800s. In 1905 Aaron Harry Forman, who had fled Odessa, started smoking salmon in the East End, using fresh Scottish fish from Billingsgate market. H. Forman & Son calls itself the oldest salmon smoker in the world.
