Discover Our Passion for Gourmet Smoked Seafood
Our first love may be caviar, but we’ve been smoking salmon, trout & scallops since 1930. The Petrossian Family has been smoking salmon and other smoked fish for nearly as long as we’ve been crafting caviar. Our passion for these rich delights runs deep and we’ve created a special five day “slow and steady” method to coax the ideal flavors out of our seafood. In addition, we love to pair our caviar and smoked fish with the many traditional flavors of the sea, such as smoked scallops and taramas.
Over the years, we’ve perfected the “slow and steady” method to create truly delectable smoky flavors across our selection of seafood. We’ve expanded from a focus on smoked salmon - still our first love of smoking fish - into taramas, scallops, and even New Zealand eel, hot and cold smoked rainbow trout, and other such delicacies you’re sure to love. Your platters will never be the same.
Beyond Salmon
The art of smoking salmon was just the beginning, with offerings of gourmet smoked seafood available as well. Our smoked trout options take basic smoked seafood to new heights, with both hot and cold smoked variations, a new Tsarina-Cut Smoked Trout, and even a pastrami style option. It’s a great way to experience trout like never before. Our tried and true method of cold smoking penetrates the Cold Smoked Rainbow Trout with ease, enriching each plump filet with dark smoke and rich cedar wood. The result is a luxurious serving of sweet, woody fish that will be the envy of every other party platter. Just unbox, slice and serve.
Hot Smoking is famous for producing subtle, more nuanced flavors of smoke and wood. We've honed this technique on our Hot Smoked Rainbow Trout to seal exceptional taste into our premium rainbow trout filets. Spice up your next platter, brunch or afternoon delight with these incredible cuts of rich, smoky trout. Our Tsarina-Cut Smoked Trout variation is more subtle than its salmon equivalent. This smoked trout brings a brighter, lighter flavor to our incredible selection of smoked fish. Using our famous slow-and-steady recipe, we’ve mastered the art of smoking trout to lock in every ounce of flavor.
Another unique offering is our Pastrami Style Trout. From the choice loin of the trout fillet, we’ve produced a succulent, smoky slice, which has spent seven magical hours in our cold smoker. The result is an unimaginably tender fillet, bursting with fragrance and subtle oils. Serve at room temperature to allow the full flavor profile to express itself.
Even More Gourmet Smoked Seafood
Finally, we’ve arrived at the last of our smoked seafood selections: eel, cod, and scallops. It would be hard to choose a favorite as each of the options offers spectacular flavors rich with our signature smoke imbued in each seafood variation. The cool, clear waters of New Zealand's lakes and rivers produce the most succulent eel imaginable, used for our Smoked Eel. The moist, meaty fillets are hot-smoked in France for a silken texture that will make Unagi-lovers swoon.
Smoked Cod is naturally flaky in texture and smooth in taste. This makes the moist and meaty Black Cod, or northern Pacific sablefish, a triumphant entry on our smoked fish menu. Under the care of ever-so-patient smokehouse chefs, it develops a subtle sweetness with just a hint of salt.
For the perfect treat, our smoked scallops are everything you hoped for. Petite, palate-pleasing Smoked Bay Scallops are carefully smoked over beechwood, creating a delicate, almost caramelized finish that makes them perfect for spooning into chowder, topping sesame noodles or starring in a frutti di mare seafood salad. These light, sweet morsels will forever change the way you enjoy scallops.
