You love smoked salmon - well that is cold smoked, and the color is definitely not the same as poached or grilled salmon. Imagine that delicious cured salmon is then hot smoked - so you get the lovely flavor of smoked salmon, but a fully cooked pink color. This is it! Totally delicious straight out of the package, sliced and ready to enjoy. From the best smokehouse in Scotland, John Ross Jr of Aberdeen. They have been curing and smoking fish since 1857 - and they certainly know what they are doing! Shipped frozen for best shelf life. This product is fully cooked and can be refrozen upon arrival.
