Maine-ly Smoked Salmon

If you’re looking for an excuse to finally visit Eastport, you’ll find this small family-run salmon smokehouse in nearby Perry (just across Route 1). It’s not a fancy retail shop with a tasting room but is more like a rustic farmstand full of coolers. The owner Josh smokes all of the fish himself and it is fantastic. It’s a hot smoke so it’s not like the velvety Ducktrap cold-smoked salmon you put on your bagel. The hot smoke results in a firm, super smoky product. Some may find it too smokey. They have traditional and cajun flavor, but I’d stick with the traditional. They also sell salmon dip and hot smoked salmon sticks (literally smoked salmon on a stick). Salmon is sourced from all over.

You can order and have it shipped, but you should just call them up directly because you can’t pay for it online. Well, you can “place” the order through an old-school web form, but then the owner or his wife will still to call you for your credit card.
