This is Togue's favorite smoked salmon. It's got a lot of up front smoke but it's also got a tangy sweetness to it and we love the creamy texture. It's an amazing breakfast on a toasted English Muffin with mayo or cream cheese. It's also great on a salad and we often just eat it right out of the package. It's hot smoked so the texture is not like the cold-smoked salmon you may be used to. It's more like a regular cooked salmon, but it's got so much more flavor and because of the high fat content of farm-raised Atlantic salmon it's got a nice creaminess to it. Togue's friend and packing assistant Colby says the smokiness at first reminds him of summer sausage, but the texture was creamy and delicious. He raves about it and we think you will too.
