| - For a long time now Kristapson's with two locations in the city, the other one being on yonge street. they get there salmon from the same supplier in British Columbia and they smoke it all here dude.
This is all they do, so you can be sure the quality involved is high as all their attention goes towards the production of the perfect smoked salmon. For 150 grams it costs about 10 bucks. they also claim that their cold-smoking salmon method preserves more of the omega 3 oils essential to your health.
Feel free, to get larger orders in 250 ($16.50) and 500 ($32.00) gram parcels, their bits and pieces parcel ($7.50), or a 1kg salmon fillet sliced on skin ($58.00).
I can't say whether for salmon this is expensive, but you ARE getting it fresh, from a trusted source and smoked shortly close to the time you receive it. Fresher is always better. At the same time, you might not spend the 10 bucks if you are looking for best bang for buck (read: amount of fish).
As to the taste, it is very flavourful, with a nice aroma both at your table and as you walk in the store. They slice them thickly so a couple pieces on a slice of bread with cream cheese is perfect. I feel like ive had smoked salmon that was a little more buttery in taste, perhaps a little oilier, which i like but i wouldnt go searching far and wide for other smoked salmon where i am; id come back and schmooze with owner about the day and perhaps pick up some capers for the side delight.
