lahlah57 Posted March 13, 2016 #51 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Oh yeah I'm good with a ribeye :) but prefer filet. Medium to med rare please. Do you want me to discuss beef tataki, and how I sometimes make it as a special treat? Probably not ;) Hmmm maybe I should ask Walt if I can change my screen name :) Please say no more cause my imagination is kicking in:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted March 14, 2016 #52 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) What is gravlax? Sounds awful:confused: Gravlax is salmon that is cured with sugar, salt, and dill (sometimes other herbs are added). So it is cured (or "pickled" sort-of). The texture is pretty similar to that of cold-smoked salmon IMHO. I make it at home sometimes. Smoked salmon is brined, then smoked. The "woogly" stuff is cold-smoked, so the texture is closer to (sorry to use this word, but it is the only one I can think of....) raw salmon than a hot-smoked salmon is. So, both gravlax and cold-smoked salmon have a strong resemblance in texture to raw salmon. Hot-smoked salmon ends up being cooked, and has a texture that is un-woogly, like a regular piece of cooked salmon, but with a smoked flavour HAL serves the cold-smoked stuff. (And now I am wondering why I didn't make gravlax when we had fresh salmon last year :( ) edited to add: I hope that helps :) and now I'll try to stop talking about "woogly" food :) Edited March 14, 2016 by CowPrincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahlah57 Posted March 14, 2016 #55 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thankyou...now I know what gravlax is. It sounded like something you took medicinally after you ate the woogly stuff from a questionable source . Smoked salmon takes on very many different forms doesn't it?

galensgrl Posted March 14, 2016 #60 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I entered "what is gravlax" in google and the very first and second responses provided an explanation of the differences between smoked salmon and gravlax. That's interesting to know, I thought they were one and the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will however be looking into how to prepare gravlax at home, it certainly sounds do-able. We made home made sausage last night. It was actually pretty easy, and way less fatty than store bought sausage. Yummy sausage with no greasy mess. I'd love to make our own gravlax and maybe smoked salmon as well. In the meantime, there's our cruise breakfasts to look forward to! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamflames Posted March 14, 2016 #62 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Gravalax is easier to prepare at home than smoked. There are lots of different ingredients you can try eg soy, chilli etc Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBands Posted March 14, 2016 #65 Share Posted March 14, 2016 or Nova Scotia type salmon that isn't salty at all. I have had the Scottish smoked salmon served sliced very thin and wide served with sweet butter and toast points. Our Publix market sells Gravlax, peppered smoked, Nova and lox so you can take your choice. In NYC they sell belly lox which is very salty. The hard smoked salmon is sold mostly in the northwest and Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is smoked salmon referred to as "Nova" which is milder and somewhat less salty than 'lox'. I prefer Nova Scotia type.
