Smoked fish from The Fish Market is always a popular item to buy from the retail seafood market around holiday time. Best served with an assortment of your favorite crackers, capers, thinly-sliced red onions and Brie cheese, and arranged on a platter with grapes or sliced pear, smoked fish makes the perfect appetizer for a family gathering or holiday party. Many of you know that our fish is smoked in the mild European traditional style, using a blend of hickory and sugar maple woods, at our facility in South San Francisco. What you may not know is that, every year at this time, we produce a limited number of special gift boxes of smoked fish for sale at each restaurant’s retail market.

The Fish Market offers a gift box containing an impressive whole fillet of cold-smoked, sliced Scottish salmon (aka lox). We also offer a gift box that includes a combination of our hot-smoked fish – King salmon, Rainbow trout, Pacific swordfish and Albacore tuna – plus a portion of lox. In addition, we just introduced a “mini-combo” box of salmon, albacore and lox.

Please call or visit The Fish Market restaurant in your area to ask about availability and pricing (sorry, no shipping) of our gift boxes this holiday season.
