The first package of Kasilof smoked salmon I bought was several years ago and it was not good at all, the fish fell apart in chunks when the sealed foil bag was opened. I contacted the company and during our discussion, realized the foil package had been unsealed in it's cellophane wrapped cardboard box. They could have sent me back to the store, but instead replaced the product and shipped it in two days. This package contained delicious smoked salmon in a nice solid filet which was savored with great gusto. Because we had spent a week on the Kenai peninsula a few years back fishing for salmon in a fishing hole in Homer, this fish reminded us of those days. Since this first filet, we have enjoyed the salmon on many occasions, also sharing it as gifts. I personally do not care if it arrives in a box or the sturdy cardboard which I purchased this week. The fish inside is the same -- flavorful, moist, not bad nutritionally, and perfect for more than one meal if you can find the 24 ounce filet which is our favorite. Wild salmon, salt and brown sugar are the only ingredients in this product and I'm all in favor of wild fish with no colorings or preservatives added. It's great plain and simple, in hot pasta, as a fish spread or a cold salad. Must buy more when it's on sale!

The smoked salmon was the best I have had since visiting the Seattle area. Plenty to share with friends. I am definitely ordering again and would highly recommend to others.

The Kasilof Fish Company smoked salmon was moist, tender and flavorful. If you like this kind of fish you should try it. The price is hard to beat, too.

I went to a brunch earlier this summer and someone served smoked salmon on bagels with cream cheese. That brunch started me on my quest for a nice smoked salmon. I found Kasilof's Smoked Salmon on Amazon and gave it a try. Friends came for drinks and I served the salmon with crackers and cheese. I went back 3 times to fill the salmon on the plate until it was gone. It's one of those things that once you start, you can't stop eating it.

Quality - The Salmon holds it shape nicely in the packaging and there is minimal water in the package. When you open it, just stand near the sink and drain the small amount of liquid down the drain.

Price - Smoked Salmon is going to be a pricier purchase by nature. The quality and taste of this salmon was well worth it. I have come back and purchased it at least 3 more times and will continue to do so.

This product was not quite what I was expecting. It is just my own ignorance, but I assumed that smoked salmon would be lox or close to it. This salmon is more like gravlax (cured salmon with salt and sugar) but fully cooked.

It is excellent with no qualifications. It strikes an amazing balance between having strong flavors but still tasting light and delicate. There is a little sweetness beyond the normal salmon flavor, but with added depth from the smoking. Again, very well balanced with no specific flavor knocking you over the head. The fish is of consistent quality through out the piece.

I didn't read the included recipes but did try a few of my own. It can easily overwhelm other flavors so use a modest amount if you don't want that. It is nice as a lox alternative on a bagel with cream cheese - again use sparingly. Great in egg scramble or omelet. Experiment a little before making anything big.

Due to the price and packaging I think this would make an ideal holiday gift.

The box it comes in is attractive and I am sure we will find a new use for it.

Comes vacuum packed in a foil package (inside wooden box). Flavor is excellent and really couldn't be better.

I increased this rating to 2 stars because the product was edible, the wood packaging is beautiful, and considering the number of 5 star reviews, it is apparent that others found this salmon satisfactory.
My family and I are used to and prefer cured salmon that's closer to Lox which I make myself sometimes. This product appears to be cooked by heat or smoking and has a real strong smoke flavor. Unfortunately because of this no one in my family would eat this product.

The item was shipped quickly and in perfect condition. I am very satisfied with this order/company and would order this product again. I would also recommend it. Thanks for the speedy delivery.

As a Native American who is from Seattle, I was excited to try this well-reviewed product. It is a great disappointment. There were about 3 ounces of liquid as part of the weight for which we paid so dearly. The flavor was watery and fishy with a faintly salty hint of smokiness. Did I receive a bad batch? Whatever shall we do with the additional unopened package? It was intended as a gift... Maybe I will give it to the cats for Christmas.

If you want a nice wooden display case to store old drill bits in or maybe some rocks than at best this is what your paying for.
I eat Smoked Alder mackeral, Turkey and salmon from my local smoke house in Fl. and they were shut down for maint so I thought what the heck I'll give this a try & boy was I in for a shock! Nasty meily soft and smelly best describes this product. Couldnt get the smell out of the kitchen for a few hours. Dont waste your $$ might as well go to your local store and buy a can of Salmon for 2.95 and feed this glop to your cat if he'll eat it!
