Wild caught by Inuit fishermen of Pangnirtung, off Baffin Island, Nunavut, this Arctic char is hot smoked over natural hickory hardwood for 8 to 10 hours with a touch of salt, sugar, and cracked black pepper. A close relative of salmon and trout, Arctic char has a milder, more delicate flavour, and the remote, pristine waters around Baffin Island keep it remarkably clean. Thaw overnight in the fridge and enjoy within a week, flaked into salads, piled on sandwiches, or served as the centerpiece of dinner.
