Fisherman's Friend Mint menthol pastilles

Fisherman's Friend is a legendary brand of strong menthol lozenges, originally developed in 1865 by pharmacist James Lofthouse. Created in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England, the product was designed to relieve respiratory problems for deep-sea fishermen exposed to the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic. The iconic packaging and the fishing boat logo remain a testament to this maritime heritage.

To this day, the brand is still manufactured in its original hometown of Fleetwood by Lofthouse of Fleetwood Ltd. The company remains a family-owned business, which is rare for such a globally recognized brand. They export their products to over 100 countries worldwide, maintaining a consistent manufacturing base in the United Kingdom to ensure the quality and heritage of the original recipe.
