What it is
An Arbroath Smokie is a type of hot-smoked haddock, a specialty originally from Arbroath, Scotland, but widely enjoyed across the UK. It is naturally keto-friendly, typically served simply with a generous knob of melted butter. For a more complete meal, it pairs perfectly with wilted, buttered greens like spinach or kale.
Key ingredients
Arbroath Smokie (whole or fillet), butter, wilted spinach or kale, lemon wedge, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread, potatoes, or high-carb sides are served. Simply request the fish with butter and a side of keto-friendly greens.
Watch out for
Accompanying bread/toast or potatoes, sugary glazes sometimes used in smoking (rare for authentic smokies).
