Never eat farmed salmon, much higher levels of bad Omega-6 fats, always try to get wild caught.

Lox, smoked salmon, who cares? Anchovies rule.

As a household which consumes quite a bit of salmon - this was a very interesting and educational post. Thanks for posting!

I ordered a box of tins of anchovies when this all kicked off.

I love smoked whitefish, but have never liked smoked salmon. Maybe I would like Lox.

Can't forget the cream cheese...

Smoked Chub. I grew up on them. Then I worked at a place that made them.

Except for my Army time I’ve lived my entire life within 20 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and yet I’ve never had the slightest use for seafood.Go figure!

This thread is making me wish I had some lox in the house for tomorrow’s breakfast. Cook it up with some onions, add some eggs to it, a little cheese, what’s not to like?

No bagels this week. Passover, you know.

...the product I’ve been referring to as lox my entire life is actually smoked salmon.
*************************************************
How does this happen? Is smoked salmon commonly mislabeled as lox?

In other words, if you order a bagel and lox at your typical bagel shop, is that what you’ll get? Or will it really be smoked salmon?

Smoked salmon, onions and capers are awesome! The wife and I discovered this going to the Sandals resorts in the Caribbean. Didn’t know that it was a Brit thing. Never had it in the states.

Ah, then clearly you know the visible and chemical differences between farmed & wild-caught salmon. /s

I thought the post was rather pathetic, as the author is totally-uninformed or suffers from knowledge-bias, reflecting key missing content which bears directly on the quality of the end result.
