Smoked Salmon FAQ - Everything You Ever Wondered (And Then Some)

From storage tips to slicing tricks, your smoked salmon questions, answered.

Whether you're a longtime lox lover or trying smoked salmon for the first time, we know you've got questions. And at Fish Delish Canada, we're here with answers. Below, we've rounded up the most common questions customers ask about our premium smoked salmon products.

1. How should I store my smoked salmon?

Keep it refrigerated at or below 4°C (39°F). Once opened, consume within 2 to 5 days for optimal freshness. For unopened packs, check the best-before date on the label. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months - just be sure to wrap it tightly to avoid freezer burn.

2. Can I freeze it?

Yes! All our smoked salmon products freeze beautifully. We recommend freezing in the original vacuum-sealed pack. If it’s already opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock freezer bag. Avoid refreezing multiple times to maintain texture.

3. What's the best way to serve smoked salmon?

It depends on the cut and flavour. For sliced lox, lay it gently on a platter and serve with accoutrements like capers, red onion, dill, cream cheese, and bagels. Gravlax pairs beautifully with mustard sauce or avocado toast. Jerky and candied salmon? Just open the bag and snack away!

4. Is your salmon raw?

Technically, yes - but it's cured (and often smoked), which makes it safe to eat. Think of it like prosciutto or jamón: preserved and ready-to-eat.

5. Is it kosher?

Yes! All of our products are kosher certified.

6. Do you offer bulk pricing?

We do! We supply bulk options for catering, events, restaurants, and resellers. Whether you need whole sides, 1kg packs, or custom cuts, we've got you covered. Just reach out.

7. What makes your smoked salmon different?

Where do we begin? Our products are:

• Handcrafted in small batches

• Made from fresh, Canadian kosher fish

• Cured using our unique family recipe

• Known for a clean, buttery taste and firm sashimi-like texture

• Free from artificial preservatives, flavourings, or additives

8. Do you deliver across Canada?

Absolutely. We ship anywhere in Canada using insulated packaging and express delivery to ensure freshness. Local GTA orders over $75 qualify for free delivery.

9. What's your most popular product?

Our Original Smoked Salmon Lox is a fan favourite, but Beets & Brandy Gravlax and our Smoked Salmon Jerky are quickly becoming top sellers too.

10. Can I customize my order?

Yes! Want it unsliced? Need extra-thick cuts? Hosting a party? Just let us know. We love custom orders.
