We love Thanksgiving at Acme Smoked Fish. Yes, a large turkey is the quintessential star of the show for this holiday, but let’s be honest… it’s all about the sides! We’ve created 5 knockout recipes using our smoky, buttery smooth, ready to eat smoked fish. But who came up with these recipes and what was the inspiration?
This all started when Holly Leung, our all-star Product Development Scientist decided to make something uniquely Thanksgivi...
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, a lot of us are thinking of creative ways to treat our partners, spouses, or any of the special people in our lives. Chocolates are great, but they’re everywhere this time of year. Besides, we just put the chocolate-heavy holidays of Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years behind us. We’ve all had enough chocolate!
Flowers are always a good way to brighten someone’s day, and they are an obvious choice ...
An inventive Acme Smoked Fish take on a Peruvian modern classic. Tiradito is a Japanese-influenced Peruvian dish similar to ceviche. This version, using our Togarashi smoked salmon, has a sweet ponzu sauce, avocado, and toasted amaranth. The avocado puree adds a soft creaminess that plays well with the sweet ponzu sauce. The toasted amaranth adds a pleasantly fibruos texture and toasted flavor to our delicate smoked salmon, that is accented wi...
A simple citrus salad from Chef Maylin Chávez featuring Acme Smoked Fish smoked salmon. This is the perfect cooling smoked salmon appetizer to enjoy on a hot summer's day. Creamy chevre, juiced and zested Meyer lemon, and mildy spicy Aleppo pepper complement our smoked salmon as it is interleaved with fresh orange slices. The addition of pistachios brings an extra element of texture to this light, flavorful, and cooling dish.

Aquachile, similar to ceviche, originated in the coastal regions of the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Acme's aguachile recipe was created with the help of Chef Maylin Chavez, a cul...

For the Acme Togarashi Sushi Roll, she's taken the smokey, spicy, nuttiness from our Toagrashi smoked salmon and paired it with cucumber, avocado, and spicy mayo, to make the perfect bite.
This is Chef Maylin Chávez's creative take on kataifi, a traditional dish of the Eastern Mediterannean. This dish can be sweet or savory, but Chef Maylin's version, made with Acme Smoked Fish's smoked whitefish salad, makes for a distinctly savory appetizer when served on its own, or a filling entree when paired with an herb salad. Kataifi is a popular regional snack, but has particular cultural importance in Greece and Turkey. The origins of ...
