Oooh. Salmon!
A 31 pound box of salmon was delivered to my office this afternoon.
Hans caught some huge salmon in early September on a B.C. fishing trip and we knew that eventually, after it was processed and frozen, it would be delivered to our door. Unfortunately, our door's hard to find standing as it does on an acreage. Our mailing address is the same as friends who live 15 km away. Not wanting to take the chance of having our salmon delivered to our faraway friends, or anonymous people in between, we chose instead to have it delivered to my office where I was the envy of everyone who spied the box.
This evening, I unpacked it.
There is barbeque style hot smoked, which gives the salmon a moist but cooked texture.
Then there's lox style cold smoked. This is my favourite. It's very moist and almost sushi in style. Ideally it should be sliced very thinly but I can handle eating a thicker chunk of it. This is soooo good with cream cheese and capers.
There's also candied salmon. Never had this, but it's a hot smoke process with the salmon cut into thin strips. Halfway through the smoking process they glaze it with honey. Oh my.
My mouth runneth over.
