Pantry-ready. Trail-ready. Office-ready. The gourmet candied salmon experience, no cooler required.
What Is Candied Smoked Salmon?
Candied salmon (also known as “salmon candy” or “Indian candy salmon”) is a beloved Pacific Northwest tradition where wild salmon is cured in a blend of salt and sugar, then slowly smoked to produce a beautifully caramelized, sweet-and-smoky result. The natural sugars in the cure glaze the surface during smoking, creating a rich depth of flavor that is completely unlike regular smoked salmon. It is sweet, savory, smoky — and completely addictive.
Our retort pouch version brings that iconic West Coast flavor into the modern world — fully shelf stable, no refrigeration needed, with the same artisan sweet-smoked character that has made our candied salmon a customer favorite.

|---|---|---|
| Flavor | Sweet & smoky | Sweet & smoky |
| Refrigeration | Required | Not needed until opened |
