Horrible salad, it's not salmon, it's garbage.
BreonicaBroussard
The quantity of this poke is a lot more than I thought it would be. I’m satisfied and will be purchasing more in the future.
tianchenghe
too much salt. I guess the seller is trying to preserve the meat longer. it tastes nothing but salty meat. not healthy and not going to buy again.
sksk
It was ready to use after thawing under running water. It was a generous portion, but quite salty. There was a slight fishy smell, so I mixed it with sesame oil before eating. I probably won't buy it again.

The product is too salty; I won't buy it again.

Sure, this is smoked salmon, just cut into chunks instead of slices. If you don't mind the appearance, you can buy it. I prefer it cut into smaller pieces, so it goes very well with avocado rice.
weee.7909674
I received the goods and they seem pretty good. I'll put them in the freezer for now, and in a couple of days I plan to make a light meal with avocado.

It's packed with plenty of salmon poke. It's so convenient to be able to make a poke bowl so easily!

I haven't opened it yet because I'm using it for a party on July 4th, but it looks just like the catalog and I'm very satisfied.
jpbparalegal
I made poke. It had tuna, avocado, a little shrimp, and was topped with white sesame seeds. The seasoning was soy sauce, umami soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. I wondered if it would go well with smoked salmon... but it was delicious!
