Their naturally high fat content keeps them moist and flavourful when preserved. Tinned salmon is usually smoked before canning to add depth, as with the José Gourmet tin in this collection. Trout, meanwhile, is a milder, more delicate freshwater fish; Hevva!'s version is farmed in ponds in the Cotswolds and seasoned simply with dill, giving it a lighter, more herbaceous flavour than salmon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShop by Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoked Salmon in Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rich, smoky and silky.

Trout is generally slightly lower in fat than salmon, so it has a milder flavour and slightly lighter nutritional profile, but the two are comparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you eat tinned salmon and trout cold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, both tins in this collection are ready to eat cold, straight from the tin, with bread or crackers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs farmed trout as nutritious as wild trout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, farmed trout is a good source of omega-3, protein and vitamins, though the exact nutritional profile can vary depending on how the fish is raised and fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between smoked and unsmoked tinned fish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoking adds a savoury, slightly charred depth of flavour before the fish is tinned. Unsmoked or herb-seasoned tins (like dill trout) have a lighter, fresher taste.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jose-gourmet-smoked-salmon-evoo","title":"Jose Gourmet Smoked Salmon in Extra Virgin Olive Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eA familiar favourite.
