How Smoked Salmon Is Made 

They sell 4 tons of fish a day, and still costs me my life's saving to buy a packet with 2 paper-thin slices.

I was expecting to see how the salmon is smoked I didn’t

are we not gonna talk about how that guy removed the bones??

Did it really tell us how smoked salmon is made or just the backstory of smoked salmon?

The bone picking was amazing

This salmon is delicious. I used to work for an online fine food retailer and we got half off everything on the website. I always got this company's smoked salmon and real French hot chocolate powder from France. Memories....😍

all of the handiwork is already super impressive but 0:26 got me 😳😱😍

The ending when it said it was the last surviving smoke house in East London got me. I bet most companies just try to completely automate the process as much as they can.

This makes me hungry

Smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese 🤤

“How to”? This looks more like an advert for the company that makes the smoke salmon. We see what you did there Insider.

Been there inside that factory watching how they do it. Lance walked me through. Fantastic. Was delicious. Gave me good knowledge.

*I thought dragons just breathe on it*

Based on the cost of raw and smoked salmon in the supermarket the mark up is around 150%-200% for something you can easily do at home (assuming you have space for a bbq)

I come from the Pacific Northwest. The Salmon runs were killed off by the dams up and down the Snake and Columbia Rivers. Prior to that it was the 3rd largest industry behind timber and agriculture in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. Salmon are Anadromous fish, this means they lay their eggs upstream and after hatching and maturing a bit they make their way downstream to the Ocean and grow to enormous proportions over 3-5 years and then make their way back to the same place they were hatched, lay their eggs and die. Their used to be canneries all around the mouth of the Columbia and every few miles apart all the way up the Columbia and Snake rivers. They are pretty much all gone now. One of the dams was built without a fish ladder (now way for the returning fish to move forward). Only one dam had screens in front of the power generating turbines to keep the fry from being killed as they journeyed to the sea.

Salmon is the best fish on the planet, hands down

Kids vape/do weed, Adults smoke cigarettes. Legends smoke fish

Why is smoking so bad if it cures fish?

I love me some smoked salmon, personally though I like a deep Oak taste, I find lightly smoked salmons like the one shown here can lack a bit of complexity for my tastes My favorite smoked salmon comes from Nicky's plaice, Howth, Co Dublin, Ireland. Their regular salmon is great, but they do a wild version when available that's just off the charts.

“Smoked” salmon is really salt cured salmon with (maybe) a touch of cold smoke. Gravlax (lox) isn’t smoked at all.

We have this in the Philippines. And were doing this long long time ago. It's delicious when you cooked it at the morning with a fried eggs and a tomotoes and a fried rice. We called it "Tinapa".

He says last surviving but im willing to bet its more like the monopolized the industry in that area and ran out the others hahaha just a guess

Lance Forman - "Smoked Salmon is about taking salmon and applying smoke to it". GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR!

Bears are salivating over this. And so am I. O god I’m an animal

Yum! On a bagel with a shmear of cream cheese!! Delish! 😋

There is nothing tastier than Alaskan native smoked king salmon . Your fingers and mouth are covered with fish oil . A true world class delicacy. Perfection !!

Using a friction wheel to rub against the wood and product smoke is pure genius. I'd wager by speeding up or slowing down the disc, you can instantly adjust the amount of smoke generated.

This is 1 of the best smoked fish'meat, the pink salmon from Alaska I've ever tried to taste in my whole life, so healthy and nutritious for every human body's need and consumption.. This is when you already cooked and it's ready to served for A meal.. This is so good to dip with Soysauce combined with lemon juice added with a bit of cHilli .. You'll be tempted for a more additional cup of rice when this will be your meal for a day, you were do lucky enough.. I really miss this kind of hybrid fish/meat which is actually originated from the Northern part of America's, Europe, Canada and also here in Asia..

never seen or tasted smoked salmon but still watching this!

This is real smoked Salmon. Most of the Smoked Salmon we see in the stores is never smoked, just dipped in a solution of brine, sugar and spices. Most folks have never tasted real smoked Salmon. In NYC we would call this Nova Lox. Incredible taste and flavor.

Thanks for sharing this! I love learning about how food products are made

i respect the worker from the process of making it, it takes skills

I’ve never seen salmon as an actual fish until today. Kudos to these hard workers. 🙌🏾

Wild smoked sockeye salmon sandwich - capers, cream cheese, dill, avocado, wild smoked sockeye, spinach, ciabatta bun.

01.29 when your mom says your arch nemesis is coming over for lunch and eating the salmon

That guy with the big knife at 2:50 is a freaking artist! He does have quite the particular set of skills.

At this rate, we ain't gonna have enough fish in the sea left.

This music, omg, beautiful soundtrack...

Eh, atleast im not as salty as this salmon.

The workers are so good. The product looks good. I'd buy it.

I don't know the reason of disliking that video!! There's lots work and effort to respect and like.

wow, great information. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. we will share this info in our social media, too. Absolutely with credit title. Appreciated that!

This what we call in Philippines "susyal na daing" 😂

"Sitting here eating smoked salmon, t wondering how smoked salmon is made, loving smoked salmon, thinking I could live off smoked salmon... being jealous of the workers in the smoked salmon shop, I want to work there... I love smoked salmon. " -Hatchi Dehatch 2020

Who needs to smoke weed when you can smoke salmon

Stay alive and keep doing this great work. Looks amazing!

Nothing fishy over here Bah dum tss Someone has got to make that joke

At :10 they’re using a Bettcher Wizzard. I used to use those every day when I worked in a turkey plant. Now as an OTR trucker I go past their factory quite often

Sorry to all the vegetarians... but that shit is sooo goood

Do they reuse or recycle the salt, or do they use that amount of salt every time?

2 things: 1. Everything’s just now in London? 2. I thought they just made by well smoking the salmon... Edit: Thx for the likes, and I’m having grammar hate so if u hate my grammar, join the conversation! Jk, please don’t get involved! 😐

Time to buy some! Sounds delicious, and like jerky I can store it in my car for long days at work!

No other fish has ever been treated with this much respect.

As a Canadian, I question why this video is even made. The directions are in the name: smoked salmon. You know how to get a fire going with some nice clean wood? You know how to cut up fresh salmon and rub salt all over it? If you answered yes to both questions, you're able to make smoked salmon. Congratulations!

Peta is quaking right now

My partner just offered me smoked salmon, left the room to the kitchen, I refreshed my YT and this video was on my recommendations

Too bad we’ve wiped out Scottish salmon runs, there would probably be more smoke houses left if we hadn’t.

Beautiful and love the Old-School Tradition!!

0:20 must be killing your lungs tee hee

I’m a full bred American. My dad a bald eagle and my moms a Big Mac, still I love smoked salmon. Lol

0:06 is that salt? Just thinking of it makes my mouth salty.

watching this as i eat smocked salmon , Ackme since 1906. yum!!

You see... When a mommy salmon and a daddy salmon love each other very much...

It’s like writing an answer in the exam. First, start with a lot of salmon. No duh, we are talking about smoked salmon so yeah thanks for the info.

I want some of what you are smoking.

nothing like a good ole Lox, Cream Cheese and Bagel. It's a part of my youth

Can we have the group of people that feel sad for the dead Salmons 💭 😭😭😭😭

I would love to get my hands on this freshly made smoked salmon.

Wtf even fish are addicted to smoking now

I am thankfull for the people who pick up the fishbones.

FOOLS! Those trimmings are the tastiest , most fatty(Omega 3) , flavorful parts of salmon. I go my local Mitzuwa Market. They sell off their salmon trimmings, left from sashimi(which I also love) at cheap prices. Less then $1 per lb. I salt cure it, and dry it in fridge. SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD!!! For cure I use rock salt, a bit of table salt for iodide, and sugar (yes sugar), with some spices mixed in. Those I wary depending on my mood. by rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, peppers are base spices. Kippers sometimes. After salt curing and drying, brush on some extra virgin olive oil to keep.

I know how it's made tsk tsk. The salmon fairy comes to cook it.

That slap on the fish at the end was what made this entire video

Seems like the question wasn’t answered

Home smoked salmon can be awesome but it takes many trial and errors to get your best results. Your gonna need a lot of salmon to practice on before you get it just right. The video gets the level of hand work absolutely right.

Who is hungry?

Yes

If smoking is bad, why does it cure salmon? 🤔

They killed all the competition

Does the salt kill the worms in the freshest of fish? 🤔 - Zach Van Harris JR

Machines make this a thousand times better

I thought it was actually smoked

I live in alaska. This is a cold smoke and known as locke over here. I use a salt and brown sugar and a few other secret ingredients in my dry brine. Then i partial smoke and can mine. Using sockeye salmon i catch.

I feel like they use a gigantic pile of salt.

Smoked salmon is one of my favorite foods

is that cocaine or ice

Smoked salmon is so addictive, I wish I could afford to eat it every day!

Gordon should learn properly how to do this

0:26. That guy is faster than all 3 machines we got

0:19 Snoop Dogg has been smoking weed since 1971

i worked in a salmon processing factory this summer in Alaska, it's a hard work getting a piece of salmon to the supermarket shelf.

English salmon is farm raised, fed chicken shit, liquid smoked and very unhealthy.....If you want the good stuff get Alaskan red salmon fresh and smoked traditionally.

I love it and choose support my local deli even if my doctor advises against eating overly salty meat

They've been smoking salmon in Britian long before the jewish immigrants. Since medieval times.

I smoke pacific salmon the Native way by hand The fish was caught that day Rock salt, brown sugar , cracked pepper Apple wood and maple for a nice deep smoke We like to store about 50 to 70 lbs for winter saved a lot on money at the store when you have Moose and deer too

0:05 when gordon ramsay says a little bit of seasoning

Tried their salmon and it was better than I expected

For who preferred the fish dishes and love it to make delicious plate enjoy him after finishing the day

This makes a good minecraft recipe Oak block + salmon in smoker = smoked salmon! Great!
