Smoked salmon

Smoking is one of the most ancient and flavourful food preservation methods, still enjoyed today as it has been for thousands of years. Virtually unchanged by technology, smoking lends itself very well to fish, and in particular Atlantic salmon. Cold smoke in combination with a salt cure imparts a spectacularly rich flavour.

When shopping for smoked salmon, it helps to understand various terms, including the differences between cold smoked and hot smoked, Atlantic salmon versus Pacific salmon and farmed versus wild.
