Smoked Salmon

What is the difference between hot and cold smoked salmon?
Hot smoking is achieved by processing fish at higher temperatures.   Fish prepared using this method is fully cooked and ready to eat.   Hot smoked salmon is drier in texture and visual appearance.   It is often compared to ham in texture and taste.

Cold smoking is a specialized process where fish is cured, not cooked.   Fish prepared using this method is ready to eat.   Because it is cured, cold-smoked product usually retains the texture and visual appearance of raw fish.

Morey's offers a full line of smoked salmon, including both hot and cold smoked products.

What is Kosher?
The word kosher is a variation of the Hebrew word meaning "fit" or "proper." Simply put, kosher foods meet the dietary requirements and are prepared in accordance to the Jewish Law.

The determination of kosher and non-kosher foods depends on two variables: the source of the ingredients and the status of the production equipment. Kosher certification, which is the guarantee that the food meets kosher requirements, revolves around both of the above criteria.

Kosher fish must have both scales and fins. Shellfish such as shrimp and lobster are prohibited, as well as some fresh fish such as swordfish, sturgeon, catfish and eel.

Are Morey's products certified Kosher?
Yes!   Most of our hot smoked fish, marinated fish and herring are certified kosher.   The following Morey's products are certified Kosher:
