silly question I know but just been on holiday and for the first time I have had salmon sandwiches and cold salmon for breakfast if I were to buy from supermarket is it cooked or do I have to cook I ?

If it is fresh you have to cook it. I would imagine this was smoked salmon which you would not need to cook.

Smoked salmon is usually in slices, a bit like ham, and you can eat it straight fro the pack for sandwiches or recipes - it kind of looks a bit oily and a bit translucent.

Cooked salmon is a lighter pink, flakey and opaque, and can be in larger flat pieces like cod, or thick steaks in a horseshoe shape. This is usually bought raw to cook at home (looks more oily and deeper pink and a bit translucent), but you can buy it ready cooked from the supermarkets. You can also buy it tinned and ready to eat.

Best thing would be to go to a large supermarket and ask the fishmonger for advice - they'll be able to show you the differences, which will be a lot easier than my random descriptions!

For sandwiches I�d probably use tinned like Tuna

When I was pregnant with DS I craved smoked salmon and used to pop to the supermarket for a packet or 2, then open it in the car and stuff my face. DH detests it and couldn�t stand being in the car after me because it stunk of fish

DS loves smoked salmon and has since he was little but I think I must have sickened myself by eating so much

You can buy packs of offcuts which are cheaper.

It�s healthy too!

The nicest smoked salmon we have had was bought in Alaska. It was delicious.
