Smoked Salmon Fillet, 8-Ounce Gift Boxes (Pack of 2)

Gave as a gift- they really liked it. Good flavor, nice texture. Arrived in a timely manner.

I adore smoked Alaskan salmon. I even get cravings for it, lol. This was pretty inexpensive as far as smoked salmon goes, so I decided to give it a try. I normally get Seabear. The quality of this brand is very comparable, though I still prefer Seabear to this - with Seabear, I feel like I can taste the wild, but with this, that "wild" flavor isn't nearly as intense. If you're raising an eyebrow at me right now, I don't mind, lol. I grew up with fresh seafood. I can taste anything and often tell whether it came from the ocean, a farm, a river, etc. I think the reason this taste is so different from Seabear is due to fishing in different waters. It's slight, so I'm guessing most folks won't be able to tell the difference. A real seafood fan with sensitive tastes will, though. Seabear tastes more like deep ocean; this is more mild, and I'm guessing it was caught somewhere where the salt water isn't as concentrated, like maybe the mouth of a river. Either way, it's good fish, and I wasn't able to make it last! Lol! Try it out with some black garlic spread on top, and you'll be in pure salmon heaven!

Not what I expected. I've had salmon from Washington State and from Alaska, but never had salmon that looked so bad and tasted so bad. This salmon went to my dogs and cats. Not truly edible for people. It was more like salmon jerky (with skin still attached). The oil it was packed in reminded me of the Grizzly Salmon Oil that I give to my dogs. There was very little edible salmon in this package. It was dark, hard and not eexcepatble for human consumption (unless I needed to save it for emergency rations). I truly love salmon, and have grown up eating pickled salmon, baked salmon, lox and have even had whole salmon that was cooked on the bar-b-cue in Alaska, and whole salmon that was smoked in Seattle. This salmon looked like the leftover parts of the salmon after a bear catches a salmon swimming upstream!

I love this salmon but packaging arrived smashed and askew - I'm sure the salmon was not harmed but package now not for gift giving.

We've been ordering these fillets now for a few years, including the 2-pack options, and have never been disappointed. My wife uses them with her favorite salmon pasta recipe, as well as on bagels with cream cheese. I'm not a "seafood lover" per se, but I really like this smoked salmon. There was a minor issue with an order some time ago, but it was resolved immediately along with a nice personal note at no cost. We were first introduced to Alaska smoked salmon during an Alaska cruise 15 years ago, and this salmon definitely maintains a worthy tradition!

It was a great addition to our xmas snack tray.

Don't order as a gift as these are shipped in a bubble envelope. Mine had a 3" ripped corner and looked like it had been walked on repeatedly...probably just constantly smashed against boxes on its journey. The product itself was fair to good. The skin is left on, there's a little more oil than expected, had a firm texture. and mine had some tough pieces probably because I got the tail end, and the meat is thin in that area. It also tasted good with a decent smoke flavor, but I've had better for sure.

This is the output of an industrial additive process that delivers a very mediocre flavor. I sent sent several of these as Christmas presents to family members plus a couple for ourselves. Now we are embarrassed for the poor quality as gifts. We have 1 package left here but will likely throw it out rather open and try to eat it.
