What kind of salmon is it?
Sockeye, which has a deep red color and bold flavor.
How should I store it?
It's shelf stable, so keep it in a cool, dry place until you open it. After opening, reseal it and follow the date on the package.
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.
