Opened the first packet of this salmon and put it on top of cream cheese and cucumber on a wasa crispbread. The first thing I noticed was the salt...a bit too salty for me. I've never had seafood in these packets before so was surprised how flattened the fish was...guess there's no way to get around that. Parts seemed 'dry' and it appeared 'clumpy'. It had a good salmon taste and smell. My blind kitty headed right for the smell as I opened the packet...she likes it too. Pretty expensive for kitty food but nothing but the best for her, she ate the little I gave her, then my other kitty came in to clean up the rest. I would have rated this higher if it wasn't so salty. It's convenient and easy to use and for just me eating it, I like the packets better than a can, I just roll the top down and put it in the refrigerator for tomorrow's lunch.

Conclusion: I will use this more for a salmon salad as opposed to eating it straight, the saltiness will be better handled with mayo to calm the saltiness. I think I will look for a no salt variety next time.

Note: I never salt my fresh salmon when cooking it, so what may be a salt issue with me may not for you.

I get this primarily to make sandwiches when camping. Needs no refrigeration before it's opened and the pouches are easier to open and dispose of than cans.

The taste of this salmon is good, and it's soooo convenient for a quick salad or sandwich. If I lived on the coast I could probably be a lot more picky, but here in the middle of the continental US, I'm happy with the fresh taste, and it's not fishy or strong smelling.

I used the on package recipe for Salmon patties. My Mother made them for me 60 years ago and they were as good as I remember back then, when she had to get them from a can.

This is a nice "meaty" pink salmon in appearance...but there is a somewhat off-putting sulfur odor despite the fact we put the entire box in the fridge from the start...at about 35 degrees. Looks like we will be using this in cooking applications... patties, maybe stir fries... some salmon taste pretty good right from the can or pouch...this was not one of those...

No more draining that funky salmon juice (anybody ever juice a fish? No? I didn't think so). Pure, good quality protein in an easy to store and open package. This mixes very well with low fat cream cheese, some liquid smoke, capers, red onion, and a touch of lemon and worcestershire sauce for an easy bagel spread- or substituting it instead of tuna for many things, including the "fish assistance" boxed dinners :)

A regrettable purchase. The salmon I received was very minced and mushy, like cat food, and smelled like cat food. It tasted more like tuna than salmon. The most unappetizing packaged fish I've ever purchased. I have to say a can of Fancy Feast would be more appetizing. I would give it negative stars if I could.
