Smoked salmon has always been a treat for me, ever since I was a little kid. My grandmother was from Finland, so we ate a ton<\/em> of smoked fish whenever we visited her growing up. (If you\u2019ve never had smoked trout, by the way, you\u2019ve got some homework.) And since I\u2019ve only ever lived in NYC and New Jersey, bagels with lox were a nonnegotiable staple of my weekend breakfasts. That\u2019s why when I heard that Fly By Jing<\/a> and Fishwife<\/a> (two of our favorite DTC food brands here at The Kitchn) collaborated on a tinned smoked salmon, I jumped at the chance to give it a try. With gorgeous packaging, a long shelf life, and a unique, delicious flavor, I\u2019m happy to say that the limited-edition Smoked Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Zhong<\/a> will be a pantry staple of mine for the foreseeable future \u2014 at least until it sells out!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n These tins meld Fishwife\u2019s \u201ccaramelized, tender, and campfire-y smoked salmon\u201d with Fly By Jing\u2019s sweet, tangy, spicy and umami-rich Zhong sauce. They\u2019re available in a three-pack<\/a>, and the salmon is sourced directly from Kvar\u00f8y Arctic, the first finfish farm to carry the Fair Trade USA seal, and BAP, ASC, and Global G.A.P. certification, according to the site. The fish is smoked in small batches over a mix of beech, maple, and birch wood, before being handpacked and canned by a fifth-generation, family-run cannery on the central coast of Washington. The fish are also fed a sustainable, nutrient-rich diet and raised without antibiotics or chemicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n For me, having smoked salmon<\/a> in the house that doesn\u2019t go bad within a week like the grocery store stuff does is a huge plus. I love popping tinned fish in a sandwich, on toast, next to eggs, over rice, and in many more preparations, so knowing I have a tin of delicious and nutritious salmon in the pantry that\u2019s ready to rock whenever I\u2019m hungry but too lazy to actually cook something is awesome. Plus, the flavor and texture of this fish is top-tier \u2014 it has sort of a spicy, smokey, jerky-ish flavor, which is really nice in a salad or with some fried eggs. Just a heads up: This stuff doesn\u2019t look like your average pink-orange smoked salmon you\u2019d find in a supermarket, so don\u2019t panic when you open the tin \u2014 just eat and enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Buy: Smoked Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Zhong<\/a>, 3-Pack, $39<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is the Smoked Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Zhong?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
