Product overview
About Fisherman's Friend Original Extra Strong
The lozenge that came off a trawler: Lofthouse's 1865 recipe of fierce menthol and eucalyptus, developed for Fleetwood fishermen working the Icelandic cod grounds and unchanged in its conviction since. The white packet is the original — extra strong, sugar-based, gloriously uncompromising. 25g.
Earned the hard way
These were medicine-bag kit for men in oilskins before they were a national institution: menthol strong enough to cut through a North Sea gale, eucalyptus riding behind it. If modern lozenges feel like sweets playing dress-up, the Friend remains the real thing — there's a reason the slogan was always about their strength.
How to enjoy
One at a time, dissolved slowly — the vapour builds and clears the head wonderfully. Keep the packet dry (they're famously unwrapped inside).
Good to know
Strong menthol confectionery rather than a medicine — for actual sore-throat pain, add a medicated lozenge. Not for young children; entirely for people who think Extra Strong is a promise, not a warning.

Frequently asked questions
How strong are they really?
The strongest mainstream menthol lozenge most people will meet — the recipe was built for fishermen in North Sea weather, and it hasn't mellowed.
Are they a medicine?
No — strong menthol confectionery. The vapour comforts stuffy heads and tickly throats, but genuine throat pain wants a medicated lozenge.
Why aren't they individually wrapped?
Tradition — they ship loose in their moisture-resistant packet as they always have. Keep the packet dry and they keep their bite.
