The Loch Fyne Kinglas Fillet Wins Taste Test In Al Dente Magazine



The Loch Fyne Kinglas Fillet wins taste test in al dente—the magazine for connoisseurs.

Simon Briggs, Sales Director said:
"We are delighted that the Loch Fyne Kinglas Fillet, came out top in a blind taste test by six top industry professionals from Switzerland. It is particularly pleasing to win this accolade in Switzerland where quality is so important."

The Kinglas fillet is the finest cut taken from the crown of a side of smoked salmon, gently smoked over oak shavings from aged malt whisky casks to give the most exquisitely delicate texture and flavour.

Martyn Paterson, Operations Director said:
"It is great news for our skilled colleagues in our Smokery. It starts with our fish and we work with our sister company, The Scottish Salmon Company, to select the best fish with a high marine content in their feed which delivers outstanding taste and the artisan skills of the Smokehouse team turn that into the winning Kinglas Fillet."

The Loch Fyne Kinglas Fillet beat competition from Norway, Ireland and other Scottish producers and the judges' comments are translated below.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
