Reply to "Smoked Salmon, Aussie style"

Hi Qnorth,

I'm confused. I think we're talking about the same thing.

If you mean sliced thinly and usually served on a bagel with cream cheese, then I'd say lox, but if you're talking about a small lump of fish that you'd put on a cracker, I'd say not that (although in Australia we often eat smoked salmon/lox on crackers with cream cheese).

I looked on wikipedia to try and find out the difference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoked_salmon

and came up with the following:

"Cold smoked salmon is sometimes known in Canada and the United States as lox, particularly on the East Coast, the word being borrowed from German (lachs, G. for Salmon) or Yiddish."

So I'm still confused!

In any case, it tasted great.

Hope that was of some help.
