The Many Varieties of Smoked Salmon - A Guide to Flavor, Texture, and Style
At Fish Delish Canada, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all smoked salmon. We believe in flavour. In craftsmanship. In options that satisfy every mood, meal, and moment.
Whether you’re new to smoked salmon or already hooked, this guide will walk you through the delicious diversity we offer, each product thoughtfully developed, perfectly cured, and hand-crafted to stand apart from anything you’ll find on a grocery store shelf.
🎯 Why Offer So Many Varieties?
Because smoked salmon isn’t just smoked salmon.
Different curing methods, spice blends, cuts, and textures offer entirely unique taste experiences. Whether you want something rich and buttery, smoky and spicy, subtly sweet, or herbaceous and refreshing, we’ve got a lox with your name on it.
🔥 The Fish Delish Line-Up
Here’s your inside scoop on each of our signature cold smoked and cured offerings:
1. Original Smoked Salmon Lox
The Classic. The Gold Standard. The Bestseller.
Dry-cured with our proprietary mix of salt, sugar, and spices, then gently cold smoked over natural filtered smoke. Hand-sliced from the royal loin for the best bite and cleanest flavour.
✔ Firm, sashimi-like texture
✔ Buttery finish with just the right amount of smoke
✔ Always a crowd-pleaser
2. Spicy Smoked Salmon Lox
A Kick You’ll Crave.
For those who like it hot, but still elegant. We spice it just right so the heat enhances, not overpowers, the salmon’s natural beauty.
✔ Zesty, warm, and mouth-tingling
✔ Excellent on avocado toast or bold sushi rolls
✔ A cult favorite with heat seekers
3. Classic Salmon Lox (Salt-Cured, Not Smoked)
Clean. Subtle. Silky.
This lox skips the smoke, letting the natural richness of the salmon shine. Cured with a simple salt blend for a milder, ultra-smooth flavour profile.
✔ Ideal for sushi, poke bowls, and purists
✔ Light and delicate with a tender bite
✔ Great contrast to smoky varieties
4. Dill & Mint Gravlax (Not Smoked)

✔ Amazing with cucumber or soft cheeses
✔ Elegant and refreshing
✔ A hit at brunch tables
5. Beets & Brandy Gravlax (Not Smoked)

✔ Sweet-savory balance unlike anything else
✔ Delicious with crackers or cream cheese
6. Pastrami Spiced Smoked Salmon Lox
NYC Deli Meets Cold Smoked Elegance.
Inspired by Jewish delis and smoked meat counters, this variety is seasoned with a signature pastrami rub-peppercorns, coriander, garlic and love.
✔ Bold and savory
✔ Irresistible on rye bread or bagels
✔ Smoked salmon with attitude
7. Black Pepper Smoked Salmon Lox
Simple. Sharp. Sophisticated.
Cracked black pepper gives this salmon a refined edge, adding heat and complexity without drowning the clean taste of the fish.

✔ Bold but balanced
✔ A go-to for spice lovers
8. Cajun Smoked Salmon Lox
Deep South Heat, Northern Cool.
A smoky, savoury blend of Cajun spices brings warmth and depth to every slice. A flavour explosion from first bite to last.

✔ Works beautifully on warm grain bowls
✔ Smoky-spicy fusion
9. Everything Bagel Smoked Salmon Lox
Everything You Love - On the Salmon.
All your favorite bagel toppings - garlic, onion, sesame, poppy-infused right into the surface of the lox. It’s a modern twist you didn’t know you needed.
✔ Makes every bite taste like Sunday brunch
✔ Easy upgrade to any sandwich or snack
✔ Wildly popular, always sells out
⭐ Why It Matters
Most smoked salmon on the market tastes the same. Not ours.
Each of our recipes is developed to give you variety, value, and wow. We handcraft every batch in our small plant in Caledon, Ontario, following a family recipe passed down through generations. And we use only fresh Canadian kosher-certified fish, never previously frozen or pre-processed.
When you serve Fish Delish Canada, you're offering more than a product, you're serving up passion, tradition, and taste that tells a story.
