Alaska Smokehouse Smoked Salmon Fillet, Gift Box, 8 Oz

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!

This has to be the worst smoked salmon I've ever had. It smelled overly "fishy" which tells me it was far from fresh salmon when it was smoked. It was also extremely soggy which gave it a macerated texture. Poor quality and totally disgusting. I will never again buy smoked salmon online.

Delicious. A little taste of home (I'm from Juneau) except I don't remember smoked salmon tasting *this* good. The only complaint I have is that there is just a small amount of product for the price (8 oz or 4 2oz servings), but I guess 1) I can't exactly go out and fish up some wild salmon in Alaskan waters so I'll pay it and b) it's hardly enough NOT to eat in one sitting! The packaging is pretty but when I opened the foil, liquid poured from the pouch so be aware of this. There was skin - not a complaint since I happen to like the skin - but no bones. Barely detectable smoke flavor but nothing I missed; I've had smoked salmon that was dry and shriveled so this was a nice treat. I used to work with salmon in the cold storage so I am a little familiar with them, however, nowhere on the packaging does it say which of the 5 species this happens to be. Sockeye? Still good. 4 solid stars, will order again!

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!

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.

It was a great addition to our xmas snack tray.

Many of the reviews of this smoked salmon are totally off-base and unfair. It seems many people don’t know the difference between hot and cold smoked salmon. If you buy this, be aware this is hot smoked salmon. It is not like the sliced, refrigerated smoked salmon you buy in the supermarket. It is a thick, flaky fillet in brine. If this is not what you want, don’t buy it and don’t review it. It is like the smoked salmon you can buy in Seattle and Vancouver airports. With respect to taste, my comparison is the smoked salmon I have bought in Vancouver and Seattle airports. I would say it is on par with those. It has a nice smoky flavor. The whole family loves it (including our dog). We use it both on bagel and for cooking (e.g., stews and pasta sauce), and for the latter it is superior to cold smoked salmon. There is not a large selection of smoked salmon available online, and those available tend to cost a fortune. This is really the only smoked salmon available online (inside and outside Amazon) at a reasonable price.
