Acme Smoked Fish Corporation shares a variety of specialty seafood products and at the Specialty Food Association’s Summer Fancy Food Show this year, it introduced an unexpected addition to its portfolio—fish candy. The all-new Smoked Atlantic Salmon Candy is set to be available in the refrigerated aisles of retail stores, offering a one-of-a-kind treat made with salmon that's been cured with brown sugar and double smoked for a sweet and savory flavor.
While people have been enjoying salmon "candy" for many years as part of traditions in the Pacific Northwest, this product makes the unconventional fish candy available to a wide range of consumers. When it comes to enjoying the fish candy, Acme recommends using it as a topping on salads or grain bowls.
