Skiing and snowboarding are fun and exciting activities for those who like hitting the slopes on a mountain and enjoy getting outdoors. It is also a sport that can quickly turn into a costly hobby, especially for those with families. Skis, boards, boots, apparel, etc., can cost thousands of dollars per person, and we are not even talking about lift passes, lodging, or lessons. Add to that the cost of grabbing food while at the resort, and the sport that we love so much can turn into an activity that many of us can only do a few times a year.
Honey Smoked Fish Co. is a food company that specializes in providing smoked salmon products, which is an excellent alternative to paying high prices for food at ski resorts. The products range from salmon fillets, salmon stackers, and spread and dips and are easily packable in your ski pack for on the mountain or for tailgating. The salmon filets provide 26% of the daily protein required for a person and will keep you on the mountain longer without refueling after an hour or two.
Honey Smoked Salmon® contains 1200mg of Omega-3s and 12g of protein per 2oz serving. In addition, Honey Smoked Salmon is a good source of Vitamin D – roughly 30% of your daily Recommended Value. Honey Smoked Fish Company’s salmon is sourced from 4-Star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) or Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified ocean farms. Each third-party aquaculture certifier evaluates ocean farms to ensure they adhere to strict regulatory standards. These standards include but are not limited to water quality, responsible sourcing of feed, disease prevention, animal welfare, fair treatment and pay of employees, and maintaining positive relationships with neighboring communities. Every ocean farm is audited annually to ensure standards are being met.
Honey Smoked Fish Company’s salmon is unique in its cooking process because it smokes the fish hot instead of cold. The texture of the food can be an issue for many people when trying new foods, and the cold method of smoking fish can sometimes make people believe the salmon is raw. However, hot smoking the salmon ensures the fish is fully cooked and eliminates the texture problem that some people have with raw fish. Since the salmon is fully cooked, it allows endless choices regarding the ideas you can come up with to pair the salmon with. It is also easy to add to any hot or cold dish because it does not have to be cooked. Adding the salmon to salads, quesadillas, mac and cheese is simple, even for novice cooks.
Honey Smoked Fish Co. sent me samples of salmon products to try, and I took some of them with me on a ski trip to the mountains. The Stackers is a great snack that you could eat on the chairlift up the mountain. The package includes smoked salmon, gluten-free rice crackers, and cheese spread. The salmon Stackers have a great honey-smoked flavor, and the salmon is not dried out at all. The rice crackers and cheese dip paired with the smoked salmon provide a delicious snack and give you that boost of energy that keeps you from making the trip into the lodge to fill up. Honey Smoked Fish Co. offers the Salmon Stackers in three flavors: Original, Chipotle and Lime, and Cracked Pepper. I loved that the original flavor had that great hickory flavor accompanied by a sweetness from the honey. These are a great snack choice while on the mountain and are very affordable, costing less than $5 a package.
The salmon filets come in 8-ounce serving packages and are an excellent option for a hot lunch that will fill you up and keep you warm while on the mountain. I decided to mix the salmon with an instant rice package that cooked in seven minutes, and from start to finish, I ate my lunch in about 10 minutes. It filled me up and kept me on the mountain until dinner time. Honey Smoked Fish Co. offers the salmon filets in six flavors: Original, Barbecue, Cracked Pepper, Mango Habanero, Chipotle, Lime, and Sweet Bourbon. The price per 8-ounce salmon filet is between $10 and 15 dollars, depending on what store you purchase it at. This makes it an excellent choice for people looking to save money when eating at a ski resort.
Honey Smoked Fish Co. products are a great option while skiing or riding and a great choice to take while camping or hiking. The products are compact and are easy to store in your backpack or ski pack. Honey Smoked Fish Co. products can be found in national stores like Walmart, Target, and Sam’s Club. It is ok if you do not want to make the trip to the store. Honey Smoked Fish Co. will ship your orders directly to your home. All packages are shipped in the continental U.S. via FedEx or UPS Standard Overnight Shipping with ice packs in a heavy-duty foam chest. Orders placed after 11:59 pm MT on Wednesdays will ship the following week.
After trying the Honey Smoked Fish Co. product samples, I recommend them to anyone looking for a great food option on the mountain. The products are much less expensive than the typical $20 frozen hamburger puck that some resorts sell and are much healthier for you. The Salmon Stackers are great for a quick snack on the ride up the mountain, and the salmon filets are perfect for lunch or dinner. The Spread and Dips Honey Smoked Fish Co makes a great sharable for skiers or riders who are tailgating or eating at a cafeteria-style eating area in the lodge. If you are looking for a more affordable way to eat at a ski resort that is healthy and nutritious, then Honey Smoked Fish Co. Salmon products are something you need to try.
