Fisherman's Friend Spearmint pastilles

Fisherman's Friend is a world-renowned brand of strong menthol lozenges. The brand was originally developed by pharmacist James Lofthouse in 1865 in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England, to provide relief to deep-sea fishermen working in the freezing conditions of the North Atlantic. What began as a liquid was eventually turned into the small, portable paper-packaged pastilles we recognize today.

Despite its global expansion, the brand remains a family-owned enterprise. The manufacturing process is still concentrated in its hometown of Fleetwood, where the Lofthouse of Fleetwood company operates a massive production facility to supply over 100 countries. Fisherman's Friend emphasizes its heritage of strength and quality, maintaining its iconic packaging design while introducing modern sugar-free varieties like the Spearmint flavor shown here.
