Our Alder-Smoked Wild Sockeye salmon is custom smoked for us at a facility here in Seattle. We allocate just-the-right Wild Alaskan Sockeye salmon fillets to be portioned and then shipped to our smoker multiple times per week. The fish will be brined with salt and brown sugar, dried with moving air in a special cooler, and then hot smoked with Alder at low temperatures and for many hours. Sockeye have a medium oil content and the distinctive salmon flavor of the Sockeye is nicely balanced with the level of smokiness; and, the Smoked Sockeye is different from the Smoked King because the King is much richer and oilier.
