Keta salmon is one of many species of Wild salmon.   We use this kind of salmon for our hot-smoked portions because its texture is firmer and ideal for smoking.

Morey’s sells both quality Atlantic (farmed) salmon and Wild Pacific Salmon.  The product package states either “Wild” or “Atlantic” salmon on the packaging, if it states “Atlantic” it is farmed and if it states “Wild ” it is wild caught. Morey’s believes in selling quality products and supplying our customers with the necessary information so the consumer can make an informed purchase.

Wild salmon can vary drastically in color and after cooking becomes even more pale (at times gray in appearance) and may lose some taste.  You have the right fish, but because it is a wild product, its appearance can vary and each species also varies in color. Keta salmon, which is the wild product Morey’s uses, is a paler species.

No, Morey’s smokes fish supplied by commercial fisheries.

Hot smoking is achieved by processing fish at higher temperatures.   Fish prepared using this method is fully cooked and ready to eat.   Hot smoked salmon is drier in texture and visual appearance.   It is often compared to ham in texture and taste. Cold smoking is a specialized process where fish is cured, not cooked.   Fish prepared using this method is ready to eat.   Because it is cured, cold-smoked product usually retains the texture and visual appearance of raw fish. Morey’s offers a full line of hot smoked fish products.

For best quality, we recommend using salmon by the code date stamped on the package.   We cannot guarantee freshness beyond the code date.

The word kosher is a variation of the Hebrew word meaning "fit" or "proper." Simply put, kosher foods meet the dietary requirements and are prepared in accordance to the Jewish Law. The determination of kosher and non-kosher foods depends on two variables: the source of the ingredients and the status of the production equipment. Kosher certification, which is the guarantee that the food meets kosher requirements, revolves around both of the above criteria.

Kosher fish must have both scales and fins. Shellfish such as shrimp and lobster are prohibited, as well as some fresh fish such as swordfish, sturgeon, catfish and eel.
