The smoked wild Pacific Alaskan salmon from the Maison Steur range is a resounding success. There has been a drastic rise in demand since Maison Steur’s inclusion of this salmon in its assortment. The smoked wild Alaskan salmon of Maison Steur is a product of superior quality and goes down particularly well with connoisseurs!

Maison Steur obtains its wild salmon through a carefully selected supplier in Alaska, USA. The supplier complies with the strict requirements of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for sustainable fishing. The Alaskan fishermen catch the wild salmon with lines before processing and freezing the fish directly on board. This ensures not only excellent quality but also optimum freshness.

The wild salmon processed by Maison Steur is of the “Red Sockeye” variety. This type of salmon has deep red flesh with a fine texture, which brings out the very best in the smoky flavours. And wild Pacific salmon has an even more delicate taste than the well-known Norwegian salmon. Salmon lovers immediately taste the difference!

The smoked wild Alaskan salmon of Maison Steur is - just like our other salmon products - available in whole salmon fillets, sliced salmon fillets, and of course, in the well-known reduced-oxygen packaging with the handy resealable lid.

Maison Steur is the first of the VWA-approved smokehouses in the Netherlands to become MSC-certified for wild Alaskan salmon. This accreditation highlights the ambition of Maison Steur to actively fight overfishing in the world's oceans. It also fits in with the objective of Maison Steur to only supply products that comply with the most stringent of standards in the field of environment and hygiene. Maison Steur had previously already received BRC accreditation, Level 4-A, higher level, from the British Retail Consortium.

The certification that Maison Steur recently had the honour of receiving applies to both varieties of wild Alaskan salmon from the Maison Steur range: the Silver Coho and the Red Sockeye. Wild salmon is distinguishable from farmed (Norwegian) salmon by the deep red colour and the fine texture of the meat, which brings out the best in the smoky flavours.

The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) is an independent non-profit organisation, established by the World Wide Fund for Nature and Unilever and aims to promote and reward sustainable management of the world's population of fish and shellfish.
To this end MSC has developed a voluntary and independent certification standard for renewable and properly managed fisheries. Fisheries that meet the standards and producers who employ sound processing methods for these fish products may, after a successful audit, display the MSC logo on their products. This enables buyers to make the conscious choice for “protected” fish products. In this manner, producers and buyers contribute to allowing future generations to also benefit from the riches provided by the world’s oceans.

Thanks to the wider availability of MSC-protected fish products, more and more buyers are choosing for fish and shellfish displaying the MSC logo. MSC is already widely established outside our country’s borders. In countries such as Germany, Great Britain and the US, a significant share of the fish consumption comes from an MSC supplier and this share is growing rapidly.
