We sell pre-sliced sides of London Cure Smoked Salmon but there’s nothing quite like carving salmon at home.
TRIMMED OR UNTRIMMED? Untrimmed sides are for traditionalists. You need to re- move the pellicle, the smoky outer crust before slicing. Don’t waste it, though; whizz it up with crème fraiche into delicious pâté. With Trimmed sides the pellicle, fins, rib bones and pin bones have been removed so you start carving straight away.
LEARN TO CARVE Anyone with basic knife skills, a sharp, long-bladed knife and pair of tweezers for the pin bones can trim and carve salmon – there’s a video guide on our website – but learning from a master craftsman is a very special experience. Our Smoked Salmon Masterclasses, hosted at the smokehouse by Guinness World Record holder Darren Matson (he trounced Gordon Ramsay; see YouTube) are a fantastic gift for any foodie friend.
