Discover Our Passion for Gourmet Smoked Salmon
Our first love may be caviar, but we’ve been smoking salmon, trout & scallops since 1930. The Petrossian Family has been smoking salmon 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 fish.
Over the years, we’ve perfected the “slow and steady” method to create truly delectable smoky flavors across our selection of seafood. From our Tsar-Cut Smoked Salmon, to our lighter Tsarina-Cut, and a selection of marinated varieties rich with flavor, the possibilities are endless.
Gourmet Smoked Salmon
Petrossian fresh cold smoked salmon offers a delicate, satiny texture that delights the taste buds. Harvested from the icy waters of the North Atlantic, our classic smoked salmon is sliced by hand and carefully cold-smoked with our signature five-day slow smoke method. Fresh, fragrant, truly sublime. Enjoy as a smoked salmon appetizer or with your favorite smoked salmon recipe.
Among our most popular cuts of smoked salmon, you’ll find our Tsar-Cut Smoked Salmon, Classic Sliced Smoked Salmon, and for those larger gatherings, our Grand Sliced Smoked Salmon. Starting with our Tsar-Cut, also known as the "Filet Mignon" of Salmon, this special selection was once reserved exclusively for the Tsar, hence the name. This loin cut is the most tender, most flavorful part of our North Atlantic salmon, smoked in our unique, beechwood method which transforms this exceptional cut into a rich, savory-sweet delight. The pinnacle of smoked fish!
Our classic sliced smoked salmon variation comes in two sizes: Classic and Grand, ensuring you’ll always have exactly what you need for whomever you may be hosting. Smoked in our ancestral “slow & steady” method, both cuts are melt-in-your mouth perfection, rich with smoky flavor and savory-sweet on your tastebuds. If you’re looking for a slightly more delicate cut, look no further than our Tsarina-Cut Smoked Salmon. We take the same family method and apply it to this new, delicate cut of fish for a lighter portion that never lacks for full, smoky flavor. Once you taste the difference, you’ll never look at smoked salmon the same way again.
A Zest for Smoke Plus Flavor
The flavor doesn’t stop with the infusion of smoke. There’s more to love than classic smoked salmon. That’s why we’ve expanded into a variety of rich flavors, creative seasonings, and even triple smoked varieties into our smoked salmon selection. Whether you’re looking for our well known Dill-Marinated or Black Sea Spiced Smoked Salmon, or our newer expansive line of zesty and spicy Tsarina-Cut options, you won’t be disappointed.
Both our Dill and Black Sea Salmon variations are marinated in seasonings and spices, following the same cold smoked process we use on all of our smoked seafood. Our Dill-Marinated Smoked Salmon is both deep and bright in flavor with a peppery dill finish, while our Black-Sea Spiced Smoked Salmon is marinated in a potent blend of our own 100-year-old Petrossian family recipe for a complex flavor and silky texture you won’t find anywhere else.
When it comes to bold flavors, our line of Tsarina-Cut Smoked Salmon variations offers even more variety and spice! Offered in flavors ranging from Ponzu, Yuzu, Chipotle, Nori, and even Jalapeño, they are a new take on a classic that you have to experience to truly understand. And for those who simply can’t get enough smoke, our Souhoï Style Tsar-Cut® Smoked Salmon is smoked, smoked, and smoked again. The unique texture toes the line between juicy fish and a jerky exterior. We’ve hand-trimmed the plumpest cuts and salted them to perfection. This has imbued the salmon with a robust, dark smoke that is sure to provoke the senses.
