The company assures its customers that the device is also extremely safe and easy to use.

It’s the only smoked salmon on the market that’s smoked within 24 hours of leaving the water. It’s decidedly mild-tasting on the palate, which makes it an easy crowd pleaser—even for those who may not prefer fish and seafood. In fact, it’s so delicate and mild in taste that it pairs with just about everything. The brand has pre-sliced, ready-made smoked salmon loin that is ready to serve right out of the package, which you can quickly pair with crackers, bagels or your favorite spread. Try making a champagne cream cheese spread with crackers for an elevated occasion in just five minutes! Latitude 45 Salmon isn’t just a quick and easy pick for entertaining and brunches, but also a healthy choice for light, protein-packed snacks that will help keep your energy up. Latitude 45 is Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) 4-star certified and OU Kosher. Packed with goodness, their salmon is a nutritious source of Omega 3s, Vitamins A - B12 – D – E, Selenium and Iodine.
