Sherbrooke village sits astride the beautiful St. Mary’s River in eastern Nova Scotia. The river has long been a popular destination for salmon anglers from around the world; it’s also the ancestral home of the Cameron family.
Two members of the clan, cousins George Newell and the late Sandy Cameron, knew Sherbrooke was the perfect place to build a smokehouse. They traveled across Scotland to study the smoking techniques of the finest Scottish smokehouses and combined these methods with the best smoking traditions of Nova Scotian fishing villages. In 1996 St. Mary’s River Smokehouses was born. Today the company is producing products true to tradition, yet is also committed to creating new products for today’s consumers.
St. Mary’s uses both cold smoking and hot smoking techniques with our smokers to produce a variety of award-winning smoked salmon products in an array of formats and pack sizes.
