In Fécamp, salting and smoking have existed since the 14th century.
In the early 1930s, SEPOA, a family business, specialized in processing cod.
Over the years, the members of the Lagarde family salted and smoked herring and mackerel in their Fécamp boucanes. At the turn of the 1950s, out of ambition, they fitted out their own vessel to fish along the Normandy coast
in 2020, a canning workshop was created to extend the know-how of old-fashioned smoking, called the Manufacture de Fécamp
