Too true, Hoggy can afford to eat this salmon every-day at the price he paid!

Sure wheels, in fact it is the perfect combination....a fake salmon, with the tast of a real salmon, for the price of a porc chop !


Maybe dorsets can send Hoggy some wild ones to work on...

Oh no please, my girlfriend is 15 years younger than me, leave me in piece.....

I seem to be correct in my last post. You Canadians keep the good fish to yourselves and export the junk!

Nice work, Hoggy! :D

Hi Hoggy,
Not being a salmon expert myself, I can't give any advise about the species of salmon you purchased.
The pictures of the smoked salmon looked great and as you said, tasted even better. What more do you want!
I would be very pleased with myself if I had such an end product.
Personally when I smoke salmon I let it cool down and vacuum pack it and keep it in the freezer. The smoke flavour intensify very nicely after a few days.
I agree with Grisell that Norwegian salmon is OK but the BEST is still
TASMANIAN salmon from unpolluted waters and air.
I just couldn't help myself giving the locals a plug with their far superior products.
Best Regards,
Jan Brisbane.

I'm convinced that the best smoked salmon is made from the freshly caught wild salmon my uncle catches fly fishing on the Isle of Skye. Unfotunately I have never persuaded my Uncle to let me have some to smoke, so my theory is still untested... :)
Curing is not an exact science... So it's not a sin to bin.

Great hams, from little acorns grow...

Pacific Coast wild salmon is some of the best out there, while working on ship we stocked up while in Vancouver --- never in Southampton.

Usually bring whole ones home when I get back as they go down a treat.
