An Arbroath smokie hot from Iain Spink's barrel is right up there with any world-class street food – and if he has any hot smoked trout, try that too. The smoking takes place at various food events through the year and weekly farmers' markets across the region – look out for upcoming events on his interesting website, and then sniff out the beech and oak smoke on the day. Iain is regularly gathering awards, and does much to raise the profile of the smokie and its unique taste on his travels. His smokies were listed in the Great Taste Awards' Top 50 Foods in Britain 2012.
