How it differs from similar foods
Unlike canned salmon, these flakes are grilled, which gives them a more developed flavor and a firmer, less mushy texture. The sockeye variety also offers a richer taste profile compared to some other salmon types.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused salmon flakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain their freshness and delicate flavor. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent drying out.
