Nanoose Bay Salmon and Prawn Sausage

Post by redzed » Wed Dec 20, 2017 18:58

Making a fish sausage has been on my mind for a long time and finally last week I crafted a variation. I had a bunch of salmon from last summer to smoke and decided at the last moment to make a sausage out of the tails and bellies. The recipe is mine, but I was guided by fish recipes in the French publication The Professional Charcuterie Series, Vol. 1. The effort was definitely worth it. The sausage is light, has a delicate salmon taste and the sweetness of the local prawns comes through. It may not be for everyone, but if you are a seafood lover then this is the cat's pyjamas! Once poached the sausage can be served hot as part of a meal or sliced cold for an appetizer.

Wow that surely different and looks great! If its firm enough to be sliced into strips would make a fine addition to Sushi rolls.
