McLachlan’s Smokery
After the family moved to Australia, they ran a smallgoods smokery in Port Adelaide, followed by a move to Nairne in the 1920s, where it was renamed George Chapman & Sons Smallgoods. By the 1960s, it had become the largest smallgoods manufacturer in South Australia. While the family business was eventually sold, Jonathon was fortunate to learn the craft and skills from his grandfather as a young lad. For years, he smoked salmon for family celebrations and special occasions, before eventually turning that tradition into a commercial smokery.
You’ll find hot-smoked salmon, tommy ruff, snook and Coorong mullet on the stall — all rich in flavour and ready to elevate a simple meal.
Be sure to stop and have a chat with John for plenty of recipe inspiration, from a classic Niçoise salad to Middle Eastern-style salads with hot-smoked Atlantic salmon, risotto and many more ideas.
ATTENDANCE: First and third weekend each month
