Ocean2Table carries smoked salmon in more than one form. Here's the real difference between kippered, peppered, sliced, and nugget-style, and how to serve each.

"Smoked salmon" isn't one product, it's a category, and Ocean2Table's Smoked & Value-Added line covers several different cuts and styles. If you've been staring at the options wondering what actually separates them, here's the breakdown.
Kippered Salmon Tips
Hot-smoked from farm-raised King (Chinook) salmon. "Tips" refers to the cut, generous pieces rather than a full sliced fillet. Sold by the box, available fresh (refrigerated) or frozen. This is the most snackable format in the lineup, good on its own, on a cracker, or flaked into a dip.
Peppered Salmon Tips are the same kippered process with a cracked pepper coating added for extra bite. If you like the kippered format but want more kick, this is the one.
Smoked Sockeye Salmon, Sliced
Traditionally smoked wild sockeye salmon, sliced thin and ready to eat straight from the pack. Sold in two 85g units. This is the format built for a charcuterie board or a bagel and cream cheese spread, thin, elegant slices rather than thick pieces.
Smoked Sockeye Salmon, Side Slices
The same traditionally smoked wild sockeye, but sold as a full side rather than pre-portioned slices, available in 170g, 250g and 715g sizes. This is the pick if you're serving a group or want to slice it yourself at the table.
Smoked Farmed King Salmon, Sliced
Traditionally smoked Chinook (King) salmon, sliced and ready to eat, also sold in two 85g units. Milder and slightly richer than the sockeye version, thanks to King salmon's naturally higher fat content, a good alternative if you want the sliced format but prefer a softer flavour than sockeye delivers.
Salmon Candy Nuggets
Sweet-cured and smoked in the classic West Coast salmon candy style, made from farm-raised King salmon. Fully cooked and ready to eat once thawed. This is a different style from the kippered or sliced lines, closer to a smoked snack than a charcuterie item. Peppered Salmon Candy Nuggets add a cracked black pepper coating for more heat.
