smoked fish

Preserved aquatic protein

Smoked fish is fish preserved and flavored by exposure to wood smoke.

The process cures the flesh, extending shelf life while imparting a distinctive taste.

Common varieties include smoked salmon, mackerel, and trout.

Smoked fish appears on bagels, in salads, and as a component of traditional dishes: We had smoked fish and eggs for breakfast.
