Hand-cut wild-caught salmon is what makes Original Salmon Jerky unique. The taste is smoky and savory, the power of the sea in fresh, exciting and flavorful salmon jerky. It is made with brown sugar, gluten-free soy sauce and natural hickory liquid smoke. The seasonings are organic: onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and red chili, with organic sesame oil. Each piece is hand-cut for a tender texture that preserves the salmon's flavor. The pieces have a delicate translucence that shows the quality of real salmon, with a smoky glaze and natural grain.
