Smoked Coho in Birch Syrup
Sign up for restock notifications
After a long winter, the herring spawn is what signals that spring has finally arrived on Prince of Wales Island; but for our northerly neighbors on the Kenai Peninsula, the flow of birch sap is nature's alarm.
When the idea came to us to find a pairing for our beloved Smoked Coho, we knew not just any old flavor would be able to tango with the sea-and-smoke profile inside this iconic can. So we turned to none other than Homer's own Bridge Creek Birch Syrup for a late-run batch of this year's harvest. And don’t be turned off by the word “syrup”—if maple were a can of coca cola, birch would be a glass of malbec.
Tasting notes: Dark and complex, birch syrup’s rich, umami-forward flavor blends perfectly with our bright and briny Smoked Coho.
Serve it up: More commonly used to enhance marinades and dressings than for pouring over breakfast foods, birch syrup pairs fantastically with flavorful fish like coho. We’ve done the work for you, so simply flake your salmon (and drizzle some can juice!) onto a generous scoop of steamy white rice for a simple take on one of Southeast Alaska’s favorite dishes: teriyaki-marinated salmon.

Great tasting, flavorful and worth the price. Best canned fish I've ever had, I definitely recommend them. Also well packaged.
Delicious. We had it with a charcuterie board and it paired great with hummus, grape leaves, Gouda, and pickled beets.
You have asked me too soon because I have not eaten any of it yet. I purchased your fish as gifts to the people who were interested in having the birch sap that I received from tapping two trees ... of 35 gallons, I gave away 22, drank, cooked into syrup, froze and made fermented Kvass of the rest. What better gift could I give than smoked salmon with birch syrup. Besides, your graphics are perfectly beautiful!
They make great products IF hardcore smoke works for you.
Personally, I want to live it, but the smoke profile of all their smoked salmon is just way over the top for me and my family. Hopefully there will be some lightly or even non smoked versions to try some day.
The salmon is so smoked I don't think the canning should even be necessary.
Fantastic! Came from tinnedfishreviews, seriously just as good as he said
