Ducktrap’s Wild Caught Traditional Cold Smoked Wild Sockeye Salmon, another top 10 winner, was praised for its bold, rich flavor that comes from the wild-caught Sockeye Salmon of the Pacific Northwest. While some taste testers were divided on the appearance—describing the salmon as having a reddish color and thick cut—the taste certainly stood out. One taster compared it to “the bologna of smoked salmon,” while others appreciated its balanced smokiness, texture, and the care Ducktrap put into its cold-smoking process. A great option for those who enjoy a richer, more robust smoked salmon flavor.
