Salmon jerky has long been a staple in the Pacific Northwest, and it has made its way to the snack aisle, even with jerky for pets. A newcomer to jerky is a company called Fishpeople, which allows consumers to learn something (via a product code to its website) about how the fish was caught. The company’s salmon jerky, in four varieties, is made from whole strips of sustainably harvested wild Alaskan keta salmon, also called pink or chum salmon. The jerky, smoked in British Columbia, is chewy, briny and satisfying.
Wild Alaskan Salmon Jerky in rainbow peppercorn, lemon zest and herb, ancho chile and lime, and sweet and smoky original, $8 for 2.15 ounces, fishpeopleseafood.com.
