Smoked Pacific salmon is an easy way to add a lot of flavor to creamy cheeses, pasta sauces, and canapés.
Pink salmon (aka humpback salmon) is the most abundant of the salmon varieties caught in the Pacific Northwest, but it's also the least known. That’s a shame, because they have the most delicate, tender flesh of all the Pacific species. In addition to this, they are more abundant and eat lower down on the food chain than most other salmon. Pink salmon also spawn (and thus are fished) at a much younger age. This means that there is less bio-accumulation in their bodies of toxic residue compared to other species.
Pink salmon are the smallest of the Pacific species, which means their fillets are correspondingly smaller and more manageable than those taken from a King or other large salmon. Their flesh has a smaller flake than a sockeye or king.
So why don’t you see them all over restaurant menus? Unfortunately Pink salmon are often fished in such a way that their natural tenderness becomes a detriment. The mechanized unloading of fish from large boats en-masse via vacuum tubes pounds them to such an extent that they’re usually only suitable for canning.
The Pink salmon we offer are fished in a sustainable fashion off the coast of Alaska so as to not imperil the health of the fisheries. They are headed and gutted then refrigerated at sea, resulting in a far fresher fish. Upon returning to harbor, they are carefully carried from family operated fishing boats one at a time, by hand, before being flash-frozen, preserving them in all their tender, tasty glory.
We also offer pink salmon fillets, pink salmon ikura, and whole pink salmon.
Storage: Store smoked salmon in your refrigerator. It can be frozen in its pouches for long term storage.
Shelf Life: Up to two months unopened. Each pouch will last 7-10 days once opened. If frozen in unopened pouches, smoked salmon will maintain its quality for several additional months.
Crumble into whipped cream cheese to make a great dip, add to quiches, mix in to Alfredo sauces, or simply serve on a cheese platter with crackers.
