Pacific Smoked Salmon Nature’s Best Smokin’ Joe’s Smoked Salmon starts with
only the highest quality wild pacific salmon. Caught in the cold pristine waters
of the coast of British Columbia, Canada, the salmon is carefully handled to
arrive undamaged and fresh at our local fish processing plant here in beautiful
British Columbia.
Depending on size
of the annual salmon runs and the time of year, you may be able to purchase
different salmon species such as Chum, Pink, Spring/Chinook, Coho, or Sockeye.
While the five species of wild BC Salmon share an outward resemblance, they are
distinctive in flavour and vary greatly in flesh colour. Their flavours run the
gamut from rich and full to light and mild. Sockeye, known for its deep-red,
firm flesh, is the richest and most robust. By contrast, chum and pink are
milder and more delicate while their flesh is lighter in colour. Even within a
species, the flesh colour can vary considerably. The firm flesh of richly
flavoured Chinook, for example, can range from ivory to deep red. The choice is
yours. Whether you prefer a robust flavour or one milder and more delicate,
there’s a salmon to suit your taste buds to a tee.
Naturally
nutritious and delicious, high in useable protein, low in saturated fat and
cholesterol, wild salmon is ideal for the diet-and health-conscious. Not only
that, but salmon is a good source of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, the
“good fat” which medical research indicates may reduce the risk of heart
disease. |
