Fresh Alderwood Smoked Salmon

What does it taste like?

Mildly smoky and slightly sweet, with a firm, flaky texture. It's a fresh, hot-smoked product.

How should I serve it?

On crackers or a charcuterie board, flaked into salads, pasta or scrambled eggs, or folded into dips and spreads.

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.

When will my order ship, and when will it arrive?

You choose your delivery date at checkout, and we ship your order overnight the day before. Because we only ship Monday through Thursday, delivery is available Tuesday through Friday, so your seafood never sits in a carrier facility over the weekend outside its 48-hour freshness window. Available delivery dates may vary with our seasonal store hours.

How is it shipped?

Many of our smoked seafood and pantry items are shelf-stable, so they travel safely well beyond the 48-hour window our fresh seafood requires. You can choose the 2-day delivery option at checkout for a lower shipping cost, or choose overnight if you need it sooner. If your order also includes fresh seafood, the whole order ships overnight to protect the fresh items. Full shipping rates by region ->

Do you ship to my address?

We ship to all 48 continental states, plus Alaska and Hawaii at a $95 flat rate. We're unable to ship to PO boxes, FPO, or APO addresses.

What if my order arrives damaged or spoiled?

If your order arrives damaged or you received the wrong product, contact us within 14 days of delivery for a refund or reshipment. We're not able to accept returns once an order has shipped, so if there's an issue, reach out right away. Full refunds & returns policy ->
