What is the flavor?
Smoked salmon coated with garlic and cracked black pepper. It's savory and bold, but not spicy hot.
What goes well with it?
Cream cheese and crackers, bagels, or a simple salad. The pepper crust is a nice contrast to something creamy.
Is it ready to eat?
Yes. Smoked seafood is fully prepared and ready to serve straight from the package.
How should I store it, and how long will it keep?
Keep it refrigerated and enjoy it by the date on the package, except the shelf-stable sockeye jerky, which can be kept in the pantry. Once opened, use it within about a week. You can freeze it for longer storage, then thaw it in the refrigerator.
Is smoked seafood safe during pregnancy?
Refrigerated smoked seafood is not cooked through. People who are pregnant, older or immunocompromised are generally advised to avoid it unless it's heated in a cooked dish. Ask your doctor if you're unsure.
Why alderwood?
Alder is the traditional smoking wood of the Pacific Northwest. It gives a mild, slightly sweet smoke that complements seafood instead of overpowering it.
