True artisans in any field are always looking for ways to improve.
Over the last few years I have been wishing that I could be satisfied with all the intricacies which make my smoked salmon what it is. But no .... I've been collecting ideas and notions of textures and taste notes of the odd bite which makes my palate sing . And how I might improve my product and also how to make better use of my smokers without the product suffering.
So for the last 6 months...
I've been experimenting and practicing. Trying to imbue in a mouthful of smoked fish all of the history of flavours and textures from ancient times until the present. Well, the end result was that I couldn't make anything taste better .....
Then I went on to looking at ways to improve the efficiency of my smokers.
I tried a few things , which , in my head were fantastic ideas but in practice..... No. Finally I resorted to a small, not at all clever, simple step, and WOW !!! I'd doubled the capacity of my smoker (...4 fillets instead of 2 ;-) and I was consistently achieving flavours that were so illusive previously. This was at the start of December and with plenty of orders for Christmas I was able to practice continuously. Just repeating the procedures with no deviation ... and it works !
My Christmas dinner ...
.... was fresh home made, room temperature flatbread. Room temperature scrambled eggs and slightly cooler 3mm thick slices of my oak smoked salmon. I cut each slice to seperate the belly and back portions so as not to confuse textures and flavours and cleansed my palate with a glass water..... Ok I know this is pretty nerdy but when the last mouthful was as delicious as the first, I was happy !
Here's to the next 25 years !
