Royal Nova
The choice for many high-end restaurants in Nova Scotia, Royal Nova is our most luxurious cut of smoked salmon available. Often referred to in Europe as the Czar fillet or balik, it's a heavily trimmed, lightly smoked fillet that yields a center cut, tenderloin of salmon perfect for sashimi style applications. Simply put, it's rich, buttery, lightly smoked decadence at its best.
How is it Processed?
- Hand selected fillets are dry cured with a special mixture of salt and sugar and then air dried
- Lightly smoking is followed by a generous trim to yield a center cut loin of uniform thickness
- A further trim is done to remove the pellicle – the shiny, slightly tacky skin that forms on the surface of a cured fillet.
- Vacuum sealed on a board in a clear pouch
- Frozen and Boxed
What Packs and Brands Are Available?
