Fisherman's Friend is a legendary brand of strong menthol lozenges that carries a rich maritime history. Originally developed in 1865 by pharmacist James Lofthouse in Fleetwood, Lancashire, the pastilles were specifically formulated to provide relief for deep-sea fishermen suffering from respiratory problems caused by the harsh, freezing conditions of the North Atlantic.

Today, the brand remains a family-owned success story, manufactured by Lofthouse of Fleetwood Ltd. Unlike many global confectionery brands that have been acquired by large multinational conglomerates, Fisherman's Friend has maintained its independence and continues to produce its entire global supply from its original home in Fleetwood, England. The iconic packaging, featuring the distinctive fishing trawler, pays homage to its functional roots as a 'friend' to those at sea.
