How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hot-smoked salmon, cold-smoked salmon, like this Coho, has a more delicate texture and a less intensely smoky flavor. The cold-smoking process allows the salmon to retain more of its natural moisture and a silken feel, making it ideal for preparations where a lighter taste is desired.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate this smoked salmon immediately upon receipt. Once opened, ensure the package is tightly sealed or transferred to an airtight container. Consume the remaining salmon within three to five days for optimal freshness and quality. Proper storage helps maintain its delicate texture and flavor.
