Frequently Asked Questions

Le Fumoir by Joe Bassili is a premium smokehouse specializing in artisanal smoked salmon. With over 30 years of expertise, our products are crafted using traditional curing and smoking techniques, delivering a refined and distinctive flavor.

Le Fumoir is based in Dubai, UAE. We supply premium smoked and cured products to households and hospitality businesses across the region.

Our salmon is crafted using traditional smoking methods learned in Scotland, combined with over three decades of expertise. We focus on careful sourcing, natural ingredients, and precise curing and smoking techniques to preserve the integrity, texture, and flavour of the fish. At Le Fumoir by Joe Bassili, we do not believe in sacrificing quality to save time. From the moment the salmon arrives at our facility, every stage of the process is handled with care and precision. The fish is gutted and filleted by hand before being dry cured with salt for up to 24 hours. It is then slowly smoked using untreated oak wood chips sourced from Stuttgart, with most products smoked for a minimum of 16 hours - a process that takes significantly longer than many commercial methods. After smoking, the salmon is cooled gradually in carefully controlled stages to protect the texture of the fish. It is then hand deboned and trimmed, with the brown meat carefully removed. For our premium products, the salmon is also hand sliced to ensure the ideal texture and presentation. What makes our salmon unique is simple: time, salt, oak, and instinct.

We source high-quality salmon from the pristine waters and sustainable farms of Scotland and Norway, ensuring the raw ingredient meets the standards required for our traditional smoking process. We even visited these farms ourselves to ensure the quality of our sourcing.
