Ambling past the tables of his recently-opened restaurant, fourth generation salmon smoker Lance Forman gazes out of his window at the Olympic stadium heaving up across the river.

"We've got the best view in town of the stadium", he said. "We're as close as it gets. There will be no better place to watch the fireworks on opening night."

A giant sliced salmon is beached on the side of the River Lea, looking out over the Olympic Stadium. Its bones are roof trusses, its guts are a factory which bubbles into life around 4am, and its pink hue was touched up by builders just before its opening in October last year.

Welcome to Forman's Fish Island, the new home of the east end's last family-run salmon smokery.
