Pink Salmon has a mild and delicate flavor with a light flesh color. The smoked filet is trimmed or portioned and packed into a gold foil retort pouch under vacuum. This retort pouch with the salmon in it is then heat processed to ensure preservation and shelf stability without refrigeration. The resulting product has been cooked in its own juices to create a succulent seafood treat. Although this is smoked salmon, the heat processing has altered the texture so that this is a new, unique gourmet product unlike lox or any of the other smoked salmon products-all of which require refrigeration. This product makes a fine addition to the finest of tables and yet is an excellent addition to the menu of the outdoorsmen. Either way it is extremely tasty, affordable, and convenient.
