Intense, smoky flavours with complexity like no other. What’s there not to like in smoked fish and other smoked seafood dishes? 

Smoked seafood dishes are a great way to add flavour and spice to your food. Smoked salmon, trout, kingfish and mackerel can be used to make delicious appetisers, spreads and salads. 

However, did you know that smoked seafood also has many health benefits? For starters, they’re rich in antioxidants which fight cancer, omega-3 fatty acids which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and lower cholesterol, and selenium, which protects against cancer and boosts your immune system.

In addition, smoking reduces the fat in the meats, allowing it to drip out for the delicious, smoky aromas. They also keep longer, allowing you to enjoy them way after they are smoked! 

If you’re a fan of seafood, then you’re in for a real treat. These smoked seafood dishes are some of the best around, and they’re definitely worth trying. So go ahead and dig in — you won’t be disappointed!

What’s the Difference Between Cold Smoking & Hot Smoking? 

There are two main ways you can smoke your seafood — cold and hot. While both will impart flavours to the seafood, the main difference is that, as its name suggests, with hot smoking, heat is applied.

Hot smoking is a technique that cooks food by exposing it to smoke and heat from burning wood. The temperature in a hot smoker ranges from 85 to 158 degrees Celsius. Hot smoked seafood is cooked through. It has a smoky flavour, and it is shelf-stable. 

On the other hand, cold smoking is a process of smoking foods at low temperatures, typically around 23-27 degrees Celsius. But before the meat is smoked, it first undergoes a curing process to extract moisture. This method preserves the food’s delicate flavours and textures, as well as prevents the growth of harmful bacteria.

The advantages of cold smoking seafood is that it imparts a smoky flavour and a slightly crisp texture. The cold smoking process takes a little longer, but the final product is worth the wait.
