I plan to visit my family in Cincinnati over the Christmas holidays
and would love to take along some of this area's great smoked salmon
for them (and ME!!). How about some recommendations as to where I can
purchase some at a reasonable price. It can either be of the
refridgerated or other varieties. I don't mind mail ordering as long
as I can get it in my hot little greasy hands before xmas. Thanks
much!

To: Philip Biehl and interested others:
There is a store in your area to fit your needs. It
is called "Norman Thompson, Dept CH83 P.O. Box 3999,
Portland Or. 97208 Ph #s 1-800-547-1160 24hrs, or in
Alaska, Hawaii, and Oregon call 503-644-2666 Mon-Fri 8-5
PST." They have the must delectible stuff you have ever
imagined. In addition to clothes and other goodies, they
have Pacific smoked salmon filet, canned smoked salmon, or
canned smoked salmon with no salt added ( for those who like
no salt).
All their salmon is smoked over alder wood. This is
the traditional way and is found primarily in the Northwest
region. A few years ago I was in Alaska and had occasion to
have some Chinok salmon smoked over alder wood. This was
heaven! the taste simply can not be described. I have also
purchased Norman Thompson's canned smoked salmon, and find
it excellent. I have purchased smoked salmon off the dock
in Ketchkan, Alaska and find Norman Thompson to be equally
as good. I have developed a love of smoked salmon, but it
is rather hard to find in here in Atlanta, so I recommend
this highly.
It surprises me that you would even have trouble
finding this in Oregon as it is a local favorite. You
should be able to find many locals who don't advertise
widely, but who produce excellent fresh smoked salmon.
