Retort Smoked Salmon is slowly smoked over alderwood, then packaged in a gold foil pouch, and sealed to preserve moistness and flavor. The retorting process is the cooking of the pouch in pure steam. Retort Smoked Salmon has a firm texture and flakes into a chevron pattern when cut. Retort Smoked Salmon does not require refrigeration until after the pouch has been opened. Sold in the freezer department of your grocery store. Salmon lox is cold-smoked and the fish therefore remains uncooked.

Our Sockeye Lox or Nova Lox is lightly cured and then smoked at a cool temperature for several hours.

This style is traditional to Northern Europe and is popular in the US east coast delis. Our Sockeye Lox has won awards for best in the state and is one of our favorite products.

The resulting salmon is firm, flaky, and flavorful. Hot-smoked salmon is most often cut into cubes or flaked along natural contours. Moist, mouthwatering, and ready-to-eat, our hot-smoked salmon is also available with a delicious pepper & garlic seasoning. See similar questions...

Cold-smoked salmon, or lox, is the variety most closely associated with Scandinavia and the Canadian Maritimes. The cold-smoking process features liquid-filled cooling tubes that remove excess heat from the smoke chamber. Temperatures range from 60° - 110° F, which is not hot enough to cook the fish. As a result, our lightly cured Nova Lox is very moist and tender. Try slicing it thin for your more artistic presentations. Back to page top See similar questions...

Brushed on the salmon after a brine rinse, the maple syrup stops the salination process after the salt is removed. Brown sugar or regular sugar doesn’t achieve the same results. This is how we control the amount of salt, which is already very low compared to the competition, and it’s how we assure that, even if the product is smoked longer, the salt does not continue to intensify inside the product.

Most smoked foods that are produced for resale are first cured and then cold smoked. Cold smoking is usually done below 100 degrees F. or below a temperature that burns or liquefies fat. Heat is added at the end of the smoking process for appearance and flavour. A hot smoked food needs very little curing and has the appearance, taste, and texture of fully cooked foods.
