About Jollys of Orkney

Today, our company remains a family owned business, owned by Orcadians George and Anne Stout. We are still thriving, and continue to use traditional methods in this modern age, such as smoking fish in their own kiln, as well as filleting fish and preparing shellfish by hand. Our shop at Hatston offers a wide range of fresh and smoked seafood as well as a host of other popular quality Orkney products, such as cheese, meats, oatcakes and biscuits etc.

In 2024, Jolly's famous smoked products evolved into their own brand; The Orkney Smokehouse is the new home for the exceptional smoked products crafted by Jollys of Orkney. Under The Orkney Smokehouse, our commitment to tradition, quality, and the finest local ingredients remains unwavering.

The business is still thriving, and continues to use traditional methods in this modern age, such as smoking fish in their own kiln, preparing shellfish and filleting fish by hand, as well as hand-slicing all their smoked salmon.

Hatston houses the company's factory, where the team are always busy processing fresh seafood and shellfish for their trade and retail customers. The shop at Hatston offers a wide range of fresh and smoked seafood as well as a host of other popular quality Orkney products, such as cheese, meats, oatcakes and biscuits etc. 

Generations of Orcadians, young and old, are regular customers at their Hatston Shop. Folk are always popping in to choose a nice piece of fresh fish, or choosing freshly made delicious hot and cold filled rolls or pies for a mid-morning snack. Ready made meals, also hand made on the premises to traditional recipes are also very popular.

That same personal touch now reaches a much wider market. In the 1950's fish vans from Jollys used to visit rural areas of Orkney, and now, over 70 years later - through the internet mail order service - Jollys products are shared with the world. We offer a comprehensive mail order service, providing everyone in the UK with the best produce our island has to offer.

We are proud to supply our quality, traditional products to many local establishments here in Orkney and throughout the UK; from hotels, restaurants, cafe's and a range of independent deli's and food shops. If you are a business interested in what we can offer, please get in touch through the 'Contact Us' page and we'll be more than happy to discuss working together.

You can also visit us in our fantastic Kirkwall deli, The Brig Larder, which has been a staple of Orcadian shopping for 10-years now. The deli offers a wide range of Orkney produce from our own Smoked Salmon, Fresh Fish, Orkney Fudge, Cheese, Oatcakes, meat and more, whilst also offering a wide range of whisky, wine, gin, local beers and much more.
