By: Sherry Shantel

Smoked salmon is thought by many to be a rare treat, something that you may buy infrequently because of the prohibitive cost. But it is also seen as a delicacy because of its delicious taste. With the variety of smoked salmon gifts, you can find something for anyone, well within your price range.

One of the most popular smoked salmon gifts is lox. Lox, a word which means smoked salmon served cold, is traditionally found atop a bagel smothered in cream cheese. It can also be served in a variety of other ways, including in salads, and makes an excellent gift for any occasion.

There are many types of lox to choose from. Your first option is farmed salmon. These are salmon which are raised in order to become smoked salmon, and is a lower cost option. Wild salmon, caught in its natural environment, is a healthy option for you and for the environment. Both taste amazing.

You also have the choice of Alaskan or Atlantic salmon. Alaskan salmon, often purchased by traditionalists, has a rich, creamy texture and a bold red color. It is also amazingly flavorful. Within the category of Alaskan salmon, there are many specific types for you to choose from.

Atlantic smoked salmon is also a delicious treat, and can be bought either farmed or wild. With a smooth, rich flavor and buttery texture, and a color that's sure to dazzle, it is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

There are many other options for your smoked salmon gift. You could go with canned smoked salmon. This will stay fresh longer than other options, and can therefore be stored and used more slowly over a long period of time.

You could also choose salmon roe caviar for the gourmands on your gift list. An excelent surprise in any stocking, salmon roe caviar makes an excellent addition to any smoked salmon gift, and can be enjoyed either at home or in a party atmosphere.

Any of these great options can be bought together in a smoked salmon gift basket. From wild Atlantic salmon to canned smoked salmon, you can mix and match to impress anyone, or make a tasty treat for yourself!
