Here is a selection of the judges comments,
“A very handsome looking side of salmon – beautiful deep colour and a lovely sheen. Excellent texture which just melts in the mouth.”
“Lovely balance and clean, long lingering smoke. Judges love the oceanic saltiness.”
“The texture is amazing, plump and not too fatty. Wonderful!”
“This is a thing of beauty with a flavour to match. The smoke is well balanced and the eat is tender and rich.”
“The cure is delicately observed too and doesn’t penetrate all the way to the skin which is a nice contrast as this is a good quality fish. The muscle has good texture but is not tough or stringy. Great piece of fish.”
