TJ's also has smoked salmon, Portlock brand. I quite like the 'hot'
smoked, i.e., not the 'nova' smoked. It is expensive per pound, but
the packages are in the $6 -$8 range. A little goes a long way with
scrambled eggs and you can eat it with cream cheese on crackers and it
stretches out well without breaking the bank. -aem
