We suggest pouring the natural oils in the pouch back over the salmon. Or, try adding smoked wild salmon to pasta, a salad, baked potato, stir-fry or omelet.

Much like fine wines, wild Pacific salmon offers many varieties to be explored and enjoyed. This Smoked Salmon Trio from SeaBear includes three types of traditional Northwest-style smoked salmon for you to try, learn about, and enjoy in a new way.

Our smoked wild Alaskan salmon can be kept for about four years and doesn’t need to be chilled until it’s opened. Once opened, they will last 4-7 days in the fridge. That pouch is like a “flexible can”—as long as it’s not broken, opened, or punctured, the food inside will stay fresh for at least 4 years. Even this is conservative, as long as the pouch is intact.

When you open the box and look inside the gold pouch, you’ll see a list of letters.

FAQ

What is a portion size of smoked salmon?

In general, we recommend 30 g (1.05 oz) per person if you want to serve cold smoked salmon on canapés. That’s roughly 1 big slice per person. The big slices can be cut in half or thirds to fit on canapés. The slices of the hot smoked salmon are much thicker because of the flaky texture.

How many ounces is a pack of smoked salmon?

4 ounce and 8 ounce available Our Traditional Smoked Salmon Retail Packs offer classic, nova style smoked salmon in convenient 4 and 8 ounce portions. Using a simple recipe of seaweed, salt, and sugar, this cold smoked salmon is delightful and one of our most popular among chefs.

How many Oz is a normal piece of salmon?

A typical serving size of salmon is between 3 oz and 4 oz, which should take up around a quarter of your dinner plate. Although the recommendations say to eat around two or more servings of fish per week, there is no known harm in eating even more than this if you are generally healthy.

What is smoked salmon supposed to look like?

How Does it Look? Good smoked salmon should have an even colour across the entire top and a slightly firm texture to the meat. If it has too deep of colour, it may mean that the meat has been previously frozen or that it has not been cured correctly.

What does undercooked smoked salmon look like?

Undercooked smoked salmon might appear overly moist, with excess moisture pooling on the surface or between the flakes, rather than having a slightly drier and firmer texture characteristic of properly smoked salmon.

What are the benefits of smoked salmon over raw salmon?

It actually has the same characteristics as raw salmon, being relatively low in calories, it is an excellent source of protein, good fat and several vitamins and minerals. The smoking process just adds an aroma.

How do you know if smoked salmon is done?

Visual cues are your first indicator of doneness. Look for a change in color—a beautiful transition from raw pink to a rich, opaque shade with a slightly darker exterior. The surface should develop a glossy sheen, indicating the fish has absorbed the smoke. Gently touch the surface of the smoked salmon.

What does hot smoked salmon taste like?

Hot-smoked salmon is silky and tender on the inside with a delicately chewy exterior capped off with a smoky, slightly sweet flavor. It’s great to enjoy on its own, flaked and stirred into fluffy rice or scrambled eggs, or as a worthy substitute for store-bought smoked salmon for bagels.
