FOOD CURATED: The Art of Cold Smoked Salmon

Meet Simon Marrian, the president and owner of Samaki Smoked Fish in Port Jervis, NY. Hes a self-taught fish smoker who began selling cold-smoked fish to upscale safari lodges as a young man in Africa.I sought him out in Port Jervis because I know he understands theres an art to smoking salmon. And I know this because I eat his product, a lot. To me, his smoked salmon tastes like no other salmon out there on the market, and what I learned is that it has a lot to do with their hands-on process. Unlike other smoked fish houses that use preservatives and fish coloring in their product, Simons philosophy is that you dont need much to achieve a good thing, just a little brown sugar and salt for curing, oak smoke, a homemade brick kiln and a really, really fresh piece of fish.So enjoy this peek into a very special family-run fine smoked fish operation, and see for yourself where good food comes from.

@ir2freq44 Anytime! Glad you enjoyed the video. I too just can't get enough of their salmon!

Very nice. I have made my own lox but cannot slice it so thinly and uniformly. It is hard to find wild caught salmon for lox in CA now. I don't like to use farmed salmon for lox but I do use it for wet cured, hot smoked salmon.

Just called these guys because I am looking for good quality lox at a reasonable rate. After finding their website quickly, I gave them a call and the owner answered himself!! He took my info down and hopefully will be placing a monthly order with these guys. Highly recommend them so far and can't wait to try their product.

It's funny how he grabs his ass @ 2:56 like he's afraid the camera will see. So many lols.
