Click to zoomCandied Smoked Steelhead Nuggets (Frozen)
What it is
Steelhead cured with sugar and smoked until it firms into sweet, chewy nuggets. Rich, smoky, a little sticky — closer to a snack than a fillet.
How we handle it
Sold frozen in packs and eaten straight from the fridge once thawed. No preparation needed.
How to cook it
Eat them as they are with a beer, chop them onto a salad, or scatter them over a chowder for a smoky finish. Smoked Salmon and Corn Chowder.
Good to know
Candied smoked fish keeps well because the sugar and smoke are both preservatives — an open pack lasts longer in the fridge than plain smoked fish.
