A Salmon’s tale

Salmon swimming in lake

When the call came for TasteConnection to produce smoked salmon seasoning, it wasn’t time for us to take a leap of faith. We knew it couldn’t be just any salmon.

The salmon in this tale needed to be very specific. It had to be beautifully smoked; it had to be from a particular loch; and it had to be from a named Salmon farmer.

Our journey took us to the wilds of Scotland where we found the perfect salmon. Smoked to perfection, we personally oversaw the drying, grinding and powdering to produce a uniquely delicious flavour, worthy of this king of fish.
