I love smoked salmon or I think it is called salmon lox. Have bought it frozen at Walmart and also in a round wheel shape at Superstore. Walmart has a small frozen package of Steelhead Salmon and I think Suoerstore was Atlantic. Does anywhere else sell this product that you know if. Makes a great snack.

The fruit trucks that come to small towns or the side of the highway but i think they are done till spring

We used to buy the packages of frozen salmon tips at Giant tiger and make our own smoked salmon. Made a basic brine out of a quart of water and half cup brown sugar, and half a cup of kosher salt, we put a few pieces of salmon in a good double seal zip lock bag and let it brine over night. In the morning it was taken out of the brine and rinsed few minutes under cold running water, then towel dried, and placed on a oven rack to dry more. We would let it dry until there was a real sheen or glossy finish on the meat. I prefered to smoke it in our Little Chief smoker for at least an hour using hickory chips, a person can smoke meat in a barbecue by wetting wood chips and placing them in tinfoil and place the tinfoil pack over the burner to get smoke. I would finish the process by placing the small tips in a 200 degree oven till they had the right moisture content.  
We never worried about storage since it was usually gone in a day or two.  
This may sound like a bit of work, and maybe trial and error, but there usually is a solution for every problem.

Brining method sounds interesting Don . I know one thing for sure there is definitely different tastes to different types of salmon . I'm not sure which is the best quality of salmon and which is the least but I love it when it smoked.

Has a great selection of seafood.

I’ve bought lots of the smoked and candied salmon from their seafood section. Always seems to be high quality and reasonably priced.
