Strathgarry Smoked Salmon from Scotland

In the Jewish deli world, smoked fish—salmon in particular—is a staple. We’ve been hand slicing the ruby red sides at our Delicatessen for decades, but finding a packaged salmon we could ship turned out to be a challenge. It took years to find a sliced smoked salmon that’s rich, toothsome, with a flavor that hints of smoke but lets the flavor of the fish shine through.

This salmon from Strathgarry in the Scottish highlands hits all the notes, especially the light flavor of smoke dancing in the background. You can serve this like we might at the deli: over a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It’s even better with fresh tomato, onion, and a few capers on top.
