What it is
This is a prepared food item featuring flaked salmon combined with other ingredients, often including mayonnaise, seasonings, and sometimes vegetables or binders, all formed into a roll or loaf shape. It is typically found in the deli or prepared foods section of a grocery store. The salmon used is usually cooked and then processed for this specific product.
